Centering nav elements

I am having trouble centering my navigation elements. When I remove the bullet style with list-style: none; and use text-align: center; my nav elements are always off center. how do i fix this?

Hi Michael. text-align: center will align the text to the center of the elements in in. It won't align the element to the center. display: inline-block will put your list items inline with one another and give them block level control.

Maybe add some code, and say what lesson your problems on if this does not help. When adding html examples code, use [ ] braces as angle brackets won't show up.
