    help question Am I an idiot?

    I've been trying to change the header for 2 days now and still am having no luck. I don't really have any idea what I'm doing. I followed the steps in this tutorial and the name of my template is showing up in the admin panel when I try to change the template but once changed none of my images show up. Here is my site . Can someone please help me before I throw my computer out the window?

    Chris -

    Before throwing the computer out the window, breathe. :)

    Now go to your Admin> Tools> Template Selection - Is faerydae_template the one that is selected?

    Breathing ;)

    Yes, it is selected. I finally got the header image to show up but now it's all the way to the left with text on the right. I don't want any text and I would like the header and the entire site centered (like the Classic Contemporary Green template) if that makes sense.

    Thank you for responding Kim :)

    Try adding this to your stylesheet.css

    #logoWrapper {text-align: center;}

    No, you're not an idiot. You're just going around the learning curve. clydejones' stylesheet suggestion is just what you're looking for.

    Good luck and Happy Zenning.

    Chris, you have a stray curly bracket in your stylesheet. I've highlighted it in red.

    Code:
           .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {float: left;}
    
    #logo {align: center;}
    
    	}

    You have
    Code:
    #logo {align: center;}
    It should be
    Code:
    #logo {text-align: center;}
    See if that works.

    It worked! Thank you so much! Now I just have to try and get the rest of my images to shop up and in the right places...I didn't realize how difficult this was going to be.
