Despite this attempt, the links are still not centered.

This is because the text-align property applies to block-level elements like divs or paragraphs, not to inline elements like anchor tags.

To successfully center align your links, follow these steps:

Step 1: Wrap Links in a Parent Element

To ensure that the links align as intended, you’ll need to wrap them in a block-level element such as a <div>. This way, you can apply the text-align property to the parent element.

Step 2: Update Your HTML
