Hi Michelle!

It looks like you have a simple typo in your footer selector.

footer {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  text-align: centre;
  padding-top: 50px;
  color: #ccc;
}

Just change centre to center and the text should be centered then.

haha oh thanks! Damn being Aussie is tough sometimes :D

Awesome! :)
