why should I use display:block ?

I have already use "text-align : center " to keep wording in the center.

But it didn't work till I add "display:block".

I don't figure out why should I add this to make the content centered.

Im not a 100% sure. But i think it creates a block around the text, so that you can create a background around the whole instead of the text alone. Makes making navigation bars easier.

Makes it easier to do padding and margin and stuff.
