title: Why isn't my HTML aligning to center?
body: <p>I'm sorry, I'll admit I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to HTML. But I can't see where I'm going wrong. I've declared the page to be <strong>aligned center</strong>, but for some reason invisible to me, it won't actually align! </p>
  
  <p>My code is here...</p>
