2,305 PointsAfter applying new fonts my h1 and h2 elements have now shifted to the left, instead of being centered. Why is that?
I have followed everything step by step, but after applying the Google fonts to my page, my h1 and h2 elements have moved to the left of the page, instead of being centered. The font applied successfully, but my text-align isn't being applied I believe. What happened?

Easy fix here, your backslashes are misplaced in your CSS sections thus the asterisk are affecting your CSS markup.
Anything outside of that backslash is not commented out.

2,305 PointsI tried removing the new Fonts but it's still shifted to the left side of the screen. I think it might of happened when in the last video he had us shifting our CSS code around and making all those comments. =/
