Can anyone explain how to center this page:

I have set the body to having text-align: center and that still didn't do it.

THANKS!

margin:0px auto;
}

Hello bfinke,
To center something it has to have a width. Then margin: auto; has something to work with.
Give #wrap a width of 1000px and your margin:0 auto; will center it (you style #wrap twice and the other one has margin: 0; so you will need to delete that)

You can also try using <center></center> tags.

The <center> tag should be just after the <body> tag & </center> should be just before </body> tag.

That makes whole page to be aligned centered.

The center tag has been depricated.
