591 PointsCenter is not so center...
i did
html {text-align: center;}
Long story short the text wasn't all centered the same. Any reason?

Well i guess one line in relation to another looked as if it's center point was somewhat different.

1,899 PointsA quick fix is to replace the html selector with a *. The * will apply the styling to all elements. Everything should be centred in it's respective wrapping element.
If there are individual elements that don't appear centred they likely have different dimensions, padding, margins, etc.
I'd start by using a * to see what happens and then work down to the individual elements.
*{ text-align: center; }

591 PointsAh.... I think i got it figured out!
Long story short... It was an unordered list with invisible bullet points which off-centered it. But made it visually appear center with the words from another list who's bullet points were all the way left on the screen.
p.s. thanks for the help
