Nav text not centered

My nav text is not centered on the page--it's in the center, but a little too far to the right compared to everything else that's centered on page. Here's my code:

nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }

Without seeing the rest of what you're working on I'm not sure I can give you an answer. But if you're trying to center an element (as opposed to the text itself) you will want to set your left and right margins to "auto".

Hope that helps!

I needed to center the text. I figured it out. Thanks.
