You can center block-level elements by using:

margin: 0 auto;

wrapper{ max-width:940px;margin: center;} // Your spelled "margin" wrong.

Also, I don't think that margin: center is a thing. What is it that you are trying to do?

You are correct it is important to start with a solid foundation. Spelling properties correctly and using the correct attribute for a property is an important skill for a person starting out learning CSS.

Nahed, I apologize if it appeared that I was laughing at your question. I was not. It's great that you are here learning. Please ask any and all questions that you can come up with.
