Why is my navigation not centered under my h1 header?

h1 { text-align: center; font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em; padding-top: 20px; }

h2 { text-align: center; font-size: 1.0em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }

/************************************** NAVIGATION ***************************************/

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

nave ul { list-style: none; margin: 0 10 px; padding: 0; }

nav li { display: inline-block; }

nav a { font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px; font-size: 1.0em; }

nav a { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;}

It looks like you have a spelling & syntax error on your ul selector. Don't add a space between your property value and unit. Hope that helps :thumbsup:

text-align: center; might not be what you want to use.

this is meant to be used to align text content inside a textual content item. <nav> is usually a block of content like a <div> that might contain an couple of lists, some links and maybe even an image or two. If you are wanting the whole nav to be centered you will need to use margins. set your left and right margins to 'auto'.
