Fonts added but header is now left aligned

Hi, I've added the Google fonts but the header is now left aligned. HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Christy Small | Champion</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

</head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html" id="logo"> <h1>Christy Small</h1> <h2>Champion</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul>

CSS

/****************************************** HEADING *******************************************/

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', 'sans-serif'; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em; }

YOu need to put it in head.

Try this

<!-- Head -->
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Christy Small | Champion</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>

<!-- Header -->
<header>
  <a href="index.html" id="logo"> 
    <h1>Christy Small</h1>
    <h2>Champion</h2>
  </a>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>

thanks for your response. I cant see any difference between your code and mine. What do I need to add to the head? It looks like a CSS issue to me but I cant see anything

Are you missing the # in front of logo in your css file to denote that logo is an id?
