I tried to center Background, didn't work and now my font size is the same as the content.

My html and css rules look exactly like the video. I've gone over and over and can't seem to find where I went wrong, much less how to go back.

Hi Christina,

If possible, please can you post a copy of the HTML and CSS or a link to your workspace and I will take a look.

Thanks,

Martin

I'm having the same issue it looks exactly like she did it. Except I couldn't get the tab to go over to the exact placement as hers without hitting tab twice... I'm not sure if that's what I'm doing wrong but I've tried the other ways and still can't manage to get it centered.

Start a fresh question, and provide a snapshot link to your workspace in it.

In your final rule, there's a stray colon in the selector after ".card-title", which causes that rule to be ignored. Remove the colon and it will work.

And if you also want "Goals" to be handled the same way, you can add class="card-title" to the HTML tag for it.

Also, a tip for future questions, just one snapshot shares the entire project.

Live workspace URL's are only temporary (this one already expired), but you can create a persistent link if you make a snapshot of your workspace and post that link here.

Okay, so the Background heading is fixed but still not centered. Here are the snapshots: https://w.trhou.se/wzmtlp6gek https://w.trhou.se/ap7lurcvqb
