(heading 1) "Home" moves all the way to the right after adding jQuery. Track: jQuery Basics: Perform Part 1

Hello there,
I tried modifying CSS for H1 by adding 5px to the top (45px, 0, 10px) as suggested in a different post for the same problem and also tried to add padding of 10px but no change. Still displays H1 "Home" on the right and not at the center. 

// Create a select and append to #menu 
var $select = $("<select></select>");
$("#menu").append($select);

// Cycle over menu links
$("#menu a").each(function(){

  var $anchor = $(this);
  // Create an option 
  var $option = $("<option></option>");

  // option's value is the href
  $option.val($anchor.attr("href"));

  // option's text is text of link 
  $option.text($anchor.text());

  // Append option to select 
  $select.append($option); 
});  


h1 {
    margin: 40px 0 10px;
    text-align: center;
    color: #384047;
}

Hope this helps.
