text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}

Descendant Selector is made up of two or more selectors separated by white space. It helps the selector to be more specific.

<nav>
<a>
<p>This is just an example</p>
</a>
</nav>
But in CSS, when you are referring to an element, that text for example, you write out the hierarchy in one line:
nav a p {
text-color: #000;
}
So for your challenge since you are after the a element you need to list the nav element first:
nav a {
text-color: #000;
}

487 PointsHi thank you so much but, for some reason it doesn't like the text-color and is underlining it. But here is what I put in my code.
nav a { text-color: #000; }

3,101 PointsWhat is being underlined? The text on your website or the code in you css file?
