I think the issue you're having is that you've applied the centering rules to the list element instead of the iframe. It's currently centering the dot that begins the li -- if you want to center the video player, remove the ul li that's containing it, and add this to your CSS:

iframe {display: block; margin: 0 auto;}

This is the way I would do it.

   <section>
     <div class="videoFrame">
       <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MyqtIdSSlS0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
     </div> 
   </section>

With these styles

.videoFrame{
  width:100%:
}

.videoFrame iframe{
   margin: 0 auto;
   display: block;
   width: 560px;
}

I tried adding this, but was getting weird results with Markdown. Guess I need to practice it.
