    Default Problem with centering the header logo

    Hi all
    I'm more confused now than when I started, but learning loads,

    Can any one help with these problems.

    1 My header logo is repearing itself, how can I stop it or center it so it dosn't repeat.

    2 how can I center all the text on the opening page, from where "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." Message?" Starts I've tried just about every thing I can think of.



    I have put my store on line so you can see what I mean.

    Regards Pembroke

    You can centre your header image and stop it repeating by finding the #logoWrapper styles in your stylesheet and changing then to:
    #logoWrapper{
    background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
    background position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #383E44;
    height:144px;
    }
    You also need to get rid of the stylesheet-backup.css file. Any stylesheet in your CSS folder is automatically loaded, treated as live and may interfere with the stylesheet that you are actually trying using.

    You can centre the text in the centre column by adding the following to your stylesheet:
    .centerColumn{text-align:center}
    You may need to refine this, to realign text that you wish to leave left aligned that way. Personally I'd leave it all left-aligned - much easier for visitors to read.

    Finally, your text needs proof reading. There are some typos and the country to which you refer is officially called "The Gambia".

    Thanks Kuroi
    That centered the text OK, and stopped the background repeat, But it still didn't center the logo, can you offer any more help on this please.

    I'm not to bothered about proof yet my store isn't live I just put it online so you could see what I was on about, I've got a tone of work to do to it before it opens and go's live.

    As for Gambia it wasn't called The Gambia until it achieved independence on 18 February 1965 if you look on the stamps of Gambia you will see only Gambia printed before independence, as I will only be selling B/C stamps up to 1950 I would be wrong to use the word "THE".

    Anyway many thank for the time you put in to this forum and the help you give.
    Regards Nick (Pembroke)

    My apologies Nick. There was a small typo in my answer. It should have read
    background-position: center;
    Good answer on the "Gambia" v "The Gambia" issue. I didn't know that
