CSS value wont center text

Hello, I am having trouble with the center text value. Can anyone see what I did wrong?

      <a href="index.html" id="logo">
          <h1>Luke Dier</h1> 
          <h2>Adventurer</h2> 
      </a>```


```#logo { 
  text-align: center; 
  margin: 0;}```

Hi.

You can try adding a div tag here and set a height and width for it. For example.

<style>
        div {
            width: 100%;
            height: 100px;
        }

        #atag {
            text-align: center;
        }
</style>

<div>
             <a href="#" id="atag">
                 <h1>h1</h1>
                 <h2>h2</h2>
             </a>   
</div>

Hope this helps. :)

If setting a width margin:0 auto; also works
