Treehouse Project ReviewerHi, you have a small typo in your code. You missed out the "p" on the unit value for px on your width. Also, you cant use the value center for margin. Use the value auto to instruct the browser to calculate the margins horizontally for you so that it centers it.
css
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: auto;
}
