Need a little help with CSS or PHP (not sure which)

[crash56]

Greetings,

I just upgraded my forum from 1.1.19 to 2.0.6.  Yippee!!  I'm doing a little modification of the theme (mostly changing colors using the style sheet), but I know next to nothing about CSS or PHP, so it's a tough slog. 

I followed instructions in the "How to create a SMF theme" article in the Online Manual here, and got rid of the forum name, the SMF logo (but NOT the copyrights  ), and replaced it with our masthead banner.  But even after some intense Googling, I can't figure out how to get it to center.  I can get it to float left or float right, but it won't float center.   

Can someone tell me where and how to center it?  Do I do it with the CSS style sheet or in the index.template.php file?  And what EXACTLY do I insert, please?  I need dummy instructions here. 

Thanks!

Codes should still be the same on SMF2.0.6.

Nope.  Thanks for the search, but that didn't work.  I followed a link in the thread to an additional set of instructions, and that didn't work either.

I'm going to take a different route with this, so I'll mark it solved.

If you are still looking for some assistance:

Will you upload your index.template.php file, with your existing modifications.

It might be easier to try another theme that already centres the banner as some do...
