i just messed up with some css in my main.css file.

so for some reason i used a float, where it is not needed at all.

this piece of code helped me out:

.nav {
    text-align: center;
  }

  .nav li {
    display: inline-block;
  }

sorry for wasting your time, but i think these kind of mistakes in the beginning are the most common.

Try this:

.nav { display: inline-block; }

and keep the margin setting for the .nav ul as

margin: 0 auto;

Hope this helps! Keep trying. You will get it.

Hi , If you know about flexbox , try this :

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/*style.css:165 in your css*/
.nav ul {
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: flex;
    width: 350px;
    justify-content: center;
}
}
