I am currently learning HTML and CSS but I can't figure out how to center my text!

What I have tried:

Index

<!doctype html>
 <html>
  <head>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" >
   <title> Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
<h1> test </h1>
  </body>

</html>

Style sheet

h1 {
    font-family: Times;
    aling; Center;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: grey;
}

The problem is this line:

CSS

aling; Center;

It should be:

CSS

text-align: center; // or 'Center', casing doesn't matter

So there were three problems in your original line: a semicolon instead of a colon, aling instead of align, and you were missing the text- part.
