5,498 PointsMy header doesn't show anymore as centred after organising main.css+putting comments.
After following steps from video and reorganising elements inside main.css the header does not show up in the middle as centred. I have a feeling something is overriding it, because when I move #logo {...} to the bottom of main.css seems to work.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

5,498 PointsThanks, I corrected it. But the problem with center text still exists.
This is the css itself:
/*********************************************** GENERAL ***********************************************/
boyd { font-family: 'Arimo', sans-serif; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }
a { text-decoration: none; }
/*********************************************** HEADING ***********************************************/
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1 { font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em; }
h2 { font-size: 0.75em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }
/*********************************************** NAVIGATION ***********************************************/
nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }
/*********************************************** FOOTER ***********************************************/
footer { font-size:0.75em; text-align: center; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc; }
/*********************************************** COLOR ***********************************************/
/* site body */ body { background-color: #fff; color: #999 }
/* red header */ header { background: #993333; border-color: #FFDB4D; }
/* nav background on mobile */ nav { background: #6B2424; }
/* logo text */ h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
/* links */ a { color: #993333; }
/* nav link */ nav a, nav a:visited { color: #fff; }
/* selected nav link */ nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color: #895050; }

Will center the header inside of it's container (presuming .wrapper) and center the text in the header (inheritance)

5,498 PointsFixed! Thank you David. I'm really enjoying learning html and css but it can be tricky at times!
David Moore
14,324 PointsYes it can, 90% of the problems I've ever had, have been mis-types, not mis-logic, keep that in mind and you'll be fine.

5,498 PointsHi David,
I've checked both my main.css and index.html but I didn't see any open carets.
This is the way it's written:
/*********************************************** HEADING ***********************************************/
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1 { font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em }
h2 { font-size:: 0.75em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }
