Thank you, Agnes! I was having the same issue and voila! I was able to refresh and "Background" was centered.

everything seems fine, hmmmm I just went and tired myself to do the same and it worked. The only thing I can really think of is - not saving the file by SAVE ALL but SAVE only the current page would cause this.

This comment worked for me. I had a similar issue, and what I've concluded is that simply using "Save" while on styles.css only saved the code on styles.css, but not the work I'd done on index.html, so I believe the code on styles.css wasn't being applied to the new html code when I refreshed. After using "Save All" instead, it worked perfectly.

Thanks for SAVE ALL. It SAVED ME!

Thank you! save all worked for me

Save All worked for me. Super grateful!!!

hi agnes thank you very much for the speedy response. please find below, the copy of mu html and css .card-title { text-align: center; border: solid black 3px; border-radius: 10px; }

<main class="flex">
  <div class="card">
    <h2 class="card-title">Background</h2>

my thought exactly agnes, it seems all my class attributes don't work, because i tried to remove the classes and styled just the tag, and guess what? when i ran the browser , the styling worked. it's getting me worried. But on a positive note, i seem to be getting all the questions about classes right.

Hi, sometimes it does take a little longer then expected for some browsers to catch up. Things you can try, save all changes in files, re-launch preview and check css file that the dot . is infront of card-title. If you are still having trouble please post a copy of your html and css code .

do you have another code editor where you can try it as well? try getting atom or a free version of visual studio. Yes your code seem good and if you getting all the answers right then or try the h2.card-title{} specific taget style.

yes i do have atom, everything loads very well with it. perhaps, the problem could be with the workspace. thank you agnes for helping me.

thank you, enjoy your day.
