a{
text-decoration: none;
}
wrapper{
max-width: 940px;
margin: center;
}
Note: I thought I had the right idea??? Lesson challenge said, ID "wrapper" not sure about this either. I feel dumb to ask for help again but, I'm afraid I haven't enough experience with code to do otherwise.

#someId {
}
also, margin:center wont work. you are going to have to use the auto value for margin like so
margin: 0 auto;
the first value, 0, specifies the top and bottom margin, while the auto value tells the browser to make it so that the left and right margin are equal on both sides, centering it horizontally.

before the name of you ID in your css:
#wrapper {margin: 0 auto;}
then the margin needs to be auto on the right and left side.
