Ever time i follow the video exactly as they do it my border doesn't show up at all. I did the text center but after that I try to make a border and nothing appears.

2,841 PointsYeah, we would need to see your code to help you out. But the usual cause is simple syntax mistakes like leaving out a semi-colon or a colon. Try going over your code very carefully.
h1 {
border: red solid 10px;
}
As you can see you will need to make sure that between the property and the value you need a colon ( : )and then after the last value, you need a semi-colon ( ; ). Also, spelling is important!
Good luck! Let us know if you figured it out!

I am guess since you are working between both tabs then you need to hit file - save all in the workspace tool bar. Hope this helps.
