 * I’m just starting my site and I’m trying to center my header image. I have looked
   at lots of different threads and tried all kinds of suggestions, but nothing 
   seems to be working. Do I need to create a child theme?
 * My site is allycowie.com

       .header-image {
           text-align: center;
           margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * add this to bottom of your themes style.css

 * Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten
   whenever the theme is updated.
 * An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the [Jetpack plugin](https://jetpack.com/)
   and activate the [Custom CSS](https://jetpack.com/support/custom-css/) module.
   You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in
   your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
 * As alternatives, you could either install a [standalone custom CSS plugin,](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   or create a [child theme.](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
