 * I’m working on this site: [http://medvantageintl.com/](http://medvantageintl.com/)
   
   and on the investor page I’m trying to center that video at the top. I’ve tried
   the <div> tags and <center> and [center] and even placing “align” and “float”
   in the video code itself. I did learn yesterday that this is a modified commercial
   theme (set up by the previous designer), is that messing with it? Any time I 
   place code it just shows up as writing on the page. Advice? The video on the 
   technolog page automatically centers, and I don’t know why that one does and 
   the other does not. Thanks!

 * The slider isn’t coded to be CSS-friendly, the element you need to target is 
   a `<div>` with no classes or IDs.
 * This is the element:
 *     ```
       <div style="width: 645px; max-width: 100%;">
       ```
   
 * You need to apply this style to it:
 *     ```
       margin: 0 auto;
       ```
   
 * I’m not sure what to suggest other than applying CSS through jQuery because you
   can target that element easier. Although we don’t support your theme.

 * Okay, thanks.
    There was many reasons the previous designer was fired… this is
   just one of many. Now I get to clean up his mess, LOL

 * still doesn’t appear center because of nav padding. Try:
 *     ```
       #header .main-nav {
       height: 41px;
       width: 100%;
       /* padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px; */
       background-color: #46a1b4;
       background-clip: padding-box;
       -moz-background-clip: padding-box;
       -webkit-background-clip: padding;
       position: absolute;
       left: 0px;
       bottom: 50px;
       border-radius: 3px;
       -moz-border-radius: 3px;
       -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
       background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(rgba(255,255,255,.1)), to(rgba(0,0,0,0)));
       background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(0,0,0,0));
       background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(0,0,0,0));
       background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(0,0,0,0));
       background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(0,0,0,0));
       background-image: linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(0,0,0,0));
       }
       ```
   
 * Also, use a child theme of your Med Vantage theme so that you can upgrade the
   Med Vantage without breaking the site.
