my picture wont center. I have all the code right and it is to the left.

I am trying to center the picture. When I had it on display:block; it literally went to the right side of the header, not visible on the page. So I switched it to display:inline-block;. This made it visible, but it is on the left side even when I have the margin on auto. I do not understand where I am in the wrong. Thanks in advance !

First, you should wrap it in a div or something else. Then there are two things you can try. First, try applying margin: 0 auto to the container, not the actual image itself. It that doesn't work, apply text-align: center to the container.

Like Ryan said ^ put the image in a div or set the image to display:block, THEN try setting your margin to auto.

I had the same problem using a Firefox browser and I tried this. I wrapped the photo in the about.html in a div named "photo", then coded my css this way:

photo {

display: block;

max-width: 150px;

margin: 0 auto; }

.profile-photo {

border-radius: 100%;

}

(There is a hashtag symbol in front of "photo", sorry.) Hope this helps.
