@felgallNov 01.2008 — div.page-wrap

should be

div#page-wrap

@matt25authorNov 01.2008 — I have changed that and it still isn't centering ?

@felgallNov 01.2008 — Since you haven't specified a width for page-wrap it is defaulting to 100&#37; and is centering in that - ie. the margins that auto places on each side are zero.

@FangNov 02.2008 — The links are off screen: [I]text-indent: -9999px;[/I]

@matt25authorNov 02.2008 — Yeah, I want the text to be off screen and the images to be the links.
