Hey Jasmine! Not sure what lesson you are working on, but that's okay... I think I got you!

Most commonly, HTML elements are styled in CSS using id tags. All that one has to do is include an id in the HTML code, and reference that in the CSS. (See example below.)

If you want to change the appearance of the p element, add an id... 

<p id=frankie>Hello!</p>

Then reference that id in the CSS. (Please note the hashtag.)

#frankie {
     text-align: center;
}

Hope this answers your question. Keep up the good work!!

To select an element with an ID in CSS you would use the # symbol.

#logo {text-align: center}

I hope this helps.
