 * Hi,
    I have rich editor turned off and I tried to center a video in my post using`
   <center></center>` but it makes 3 errors in the validator. So what’s the correct
   way to center content?

 * Thanks, I’m not sure what I should be looking at..
    But I want to center the 
   content of 1 post only, not of all posts. Does css apply also in this case?

 * Ok I understand what you meant, I can’t just wrap the content with <center>, 
   I have to do it from within the css of the content.
    Now I must figure out what
   I must put in here to center this video. `<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-
   top: 25px; text-align: left; width: 320px"><iframe src="http://www.dailymotion.
   com/blog/video/69213?key=5lri5uvvf2jc9lp8d4o6jie9ebbplijf8r1e1pu7" style="width:
   320px;height:256px;border:none;margin:0px;" width="320" height="256" frameborder
   ="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" id="i5lri5uvvf2jc9lp8d4o6jie9ebbplijf8r1e1pu7"
   >Dailymotion blogged video</iframe> <span style="margin-top:0px;"><a href="http://
   www.dailymotion.com/video/x1hel_emilie-simon-fleur-de-saison">Emilie Simon - 
   Fleur de Saison</a></span></div>
 * Ok, I think align=center has something to do with it, but I mustn’t be placing
   it where it should.
