 * I am such a html/css noob that I’m pulling my hair out. I just put in the page
   number plugin and cant center it.
 * “<center></center>” doesn’t work
    <div style=”text-align:center”> doesn’t work
   but…….
 * “<div class=”alignleft”> and <div class=”alignright”> does work.
 * So what is it for center? <div class=”align**center**“>??

 * assign margin 0 auto to the appropriate class
 * you can call the class anything you want
 * for instance:
    `<div class="alignCenter">your stuff you want centered</div>`
 * THEN…in your style.css add
 *     ```
       .alignCenter {
           margin: 0 auto;
           }
       ```
   
 * you may already have some align center class in your css, look for it, then use
   that class.
 * Once you put that class in your css (or find the tag if it’s already defined)
   you can use it as much as you want to center things

 * Hi RVoodoo:
 * Thanks so much for your help. But you are speaking a language a bit too technical
   for me. Noob here remember?
 * Where do I assign margin 0? (I’m currently working on style.css)
 * I believe I understand the code part: ‘<div class=”alignCenter”>your stuff you
   want centered</div>’
 * Lastly, where can I add the code to the style.css? Is there any particular order
   or can I just copy and paste it to the bottom.
 * Thanks so much for your help.
