 * Hi
 * Since I upgraded to 2.8 my images won’t aligh center. Left and right work fine,
   but if I set them to center they do center in the editor but in the real post
   they align left.
 * My theme css has all the apropriate code:
 *     ```
       /* Floats & Images */
       .right { float: right; }
       .left { float: left; }
       .middle {margin: 0 auto;float:left;}
       .clear { clear: both; }
       img.centered{display: block;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;max-width:950px}
       img.alignright{padding: 4px 0 4px 4px;margin: 3px 0 2px 10px;display: inline;max-width:950px}
       img.alignleft{padding: 4px 4px 4px 0;margin: 3px 10px 2px 0;display: inline;max-width:950px}
       img.alignnone{padding:4px 4px 4px 0; margin:3px 10px 2px 0;display: block;max-width:950px}
       .alignleft{float: left;}
       .alignright{float: right;}
       .aligncenter,div.aligncenter {display: block;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;}
       .thumbnail, .attachment-thumbnail {max-width:150px;margin:0 1.5em 1.5em 0;float:left}
       .attachment-medium {max-width:950px;overflow:hidden;display: inline}
       .attachment-large {max-width:950px;overflow:hidden;display: inline}
       .content .size-medium, content size-large {margin: 0 1.5em 1.5em 0}
       .home .size-medium, .home .size-large {max-width:590px; height:auto; overflow:hidden;margin:0 .5em .5em 0;}
       dl.gallery-item .gallery-caption {clear:both;float:none;width:150px;}
       dl.gallery-item {width:150px;}
       .gallery-icon .attachment-thumbnail{padding:0;margin:0}
       .gallery {width:auto;}
       ```
   
 * What could be the problem?

 * Could be that something else in your CSS is over-writing the standard alignment
   style. A link to a page demonstrating the problem might help.

 * The style for home page images is over-riding the basic image alignment style
 * Edit style.css (line 137) and change:
 *     ```
       .alignleft{float: left;}
       .alignright{float: right;}
       .aligncenter,div.aligncenter {display: block;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;}
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       .alignleft, .post .alignleft{float: left;}
       .alignright, .post .alignright{float: right;}
       .aligncenter,div.aligncenter,.post .aligncenter {display: block;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;}
       ```

 * Sorry – the changes are still too high up in the stylesheet. Can you try picking
   up that entire block:
 * `.alignleft, .post .alignleft{float: left;}
    .alignright, .post .alignright{float:
   right;} .aligncenter,div.aligncenter,.post .aligncenter {display: block;margin-
   left: auto;margin-right: auto;}’
 * and placing right at the bottom of your stylesheet?
