Problem centering my content. Everything seems to be floated to the left.

body { width: 800px; text-align: center; background-color: lavender; background-image: url(bild7.jpg); background-size: cover; }

header { text-align: center; border: 3px solid black; background-image: url(bild6.jpg); background-size: cover; height: 500px; margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px; }

.main-header { padding-bottom: 60px; font-size: 70px; }

.johanna { width: 25%; border-radius: 10%; }

.all-text { font-size: 60px; margin: 0; }

.all-img { width: 25%; border: 3px solid black; }

hiya,

your body is taking the centre of 800px (the width you gave it)

If you put the width to 100% you will see your content will be in the centre :)

I see, but how do I change the size then?

You can as well leave the width to 800px and add a margin rule to be auto

body {

width:800px;

margin:auto;

text-align:center;

background-color: lavender;

background-size: cover;

}
