Your HTML has id:="logo"; it should just be id="logo"; no colon needed on your HTML page.

I thought for margin: 0 auto; to work you need to specify the width, not just max-width, even if it's just set at 100%.

Thanks, everyone. It was this: Your HTML has id:="logo"; it should just be id="logo" special thanks to you Rebecca Vonada. I kept comparing the code, and didn't catch that. Thank$
