Problem not being able to center "#copyright" with webpage

I've tried watching the videos over and over again and for some reason I just can't seem to get it to center at the bottom of the page. Halp! I've tried looking for something as silly as colons instead of semi-colons or not closing div classes/id's with proper brackets, but I just can't figure it out. Could someone take a look at my code, please?

Jackie Yip - Anytime your CSS is acting weird (yes, that is the technical term :wink:) make sure to validate your HTML
