Hi @whitemeagan73

For this step you need to add the margin-left and margin-right properties to the #menu selector.

Happy coding

Hello this is my code so far , for some reason i can get the left margin to auto but when i try and get the right one to auto im not able to put it anywhere , i tried next to the left margin and underneath on a new line of code but im still getting an error when it try to auto the right margin. Where do i put the right auto margin

reply to my own post

#menu{
  width: 80%;
  background-color: burlywood;
  margin-right: auto;  margin-left: auto```
}

i forget the spacing AND colons in the proper place make all the difference.

most of the instructions on freeCodeCamp are very straight forward, so try doing what comes to mind first after reading an instruction, it often is right;
