I am running into a challenge centering a heading on the webpage.

.card-title { text-align: center; }

When entering this along with the instructing (this is for the heading of a webpage) I noticed she was able to center the heading "Background" on the webpage, but after several attempts with me typing the above format, I could not center the text or add a border.

.card-title { text-align: center; border: solid black 3px; }

after typing this, saving and refreshing, the border was not added. Could you please let know if there is something typed incorrectly? Thanks

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <p>My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>

Hi! Nothing is incorrectly spelled but I think I see the problem. When you made ".card-title" you didn't apply it to an html element! If you wanted it to apply to the paragraph then you would do: <p class="card-title">My amazing Website</p>

Just a simple mistake (I have made worse!) Hope this helps!
