Treehouse Project ReviewerYou haven't used the correct display mode for the list items. You have used block which is the default behaviour for list items so this doesn't change anything. The answer is in the question with a hint: "Use the display value that generates a block element that flows with surrounding content."
That type of display mode would be inline-block.
Inline-block allows elements to layout side by side, while also allowing to set width, height, top and bottom margin/padding values.

You want to set main-nav to display inline block like this. The first question was about targetting the li's of main-nav now you target the .main-nav itself and set it to inline-block.
.main-nav {
display: inline-block;
}
The next one wants you to target the logo class and set it to display: block; so that the margin: auto actually takes effect.

header { text-align: center; } .logo { width: 110px; margin: auto; } .main-nav { display:inline-block; }
