Hey jason limmm 👋

You're overwriting this style in the same rule on line 17 with: margin: 0 auto;. The margin property is a shorthand for all sides combined. In how you've used it you're setting the top and bottom margins to be 0 and use auto for either side of the element.

Hope this clears things up.
