a { text-decoration:none;
}
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }
logo{
text-align:center; margin: 0;
} a{ color: #6ab47b; }
header { background-color: #6ab47b; border-color:#599a68; }
Since you made logo an id, you need #logo to designate it. The same is true for wrapper. No symbol looks for an html element. A . looks for a class. A # looks for an id. Your current code would assign the color to all a elements. There is a problem in that you assign the same color to the header background as you do the text, so it disappears. You need to change one of the colors. Your border does not show up because you do not assign a size to it.
