Check the margin values in your CSS?

Stuck trying to center the wrapper, any help?

This is my code, can't tell what I'm doing wrong:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 center;
}

center is not a valid input for margin. Did you mean to put "auto"?

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;  // Auto margin on the sides will centre a block
}
