the <ul> with the class main-nav is a block-level element by default, so it takes up the full width of the cainter

lets set .main-nav to be as wide as the content inside. change the display of .main-nav to the display value that generates a block element that doesnt take up a full line

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 110px;
  margin: auto;
}
.main-nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
.main-nav

Hi Raeed,

A display value that generates a block element that doesn't take up a full line is called "inline-block".
