Hey Edward, I think it just doesn't like that you added that extra margin property to your logo id at the end. Here is the code I used to get it to pass. 

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
}

No, that's not the problem. That margin property doesn't affect passing. But those extra spaces in the selectors sure do!

It looks like you have a space between the "#" symbol and your id names.

Your properties and values look good. Just remove those extra spaces from your selectors and you should pass.

Also ā€” it doesn't hurt anything but you don't need a margin setting for the "#logo" rule.
