This is my html selector id code<a href="index.html" id="logo"> <h1> David Norton</h1> <h2> Consultant</h2> </a> This is my main.css file
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
After saving it the logo is not centered. What should I do?

//Skip one line 4 spaces before code 4 spaces before code 4 spaces before code

2,762 PointsI do not know what happened but it is now functioning properly. I made no changes to the code and I did not save anything. This sort of happened before as well. Do not understand what is happening.
