Problem with placement of pictures

While editing the MASH code to make it my own I decided to change the logo to a picture of mine. How do I get the picture to shrink and become centered on my page?

I've added in style.css in class selector .logo img extra line named width: 900px. It helped for me.

Resizing

You can shrink the image by adding height: and width: in the image tag and adjust them accordingly

Positioning

In the first example here under you can leave margin-right but then it will not be exactly in the center;

You can center an image by using position: relative; left: 50%; margin-right: /50% of your image width in px or ems/

Or margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

Use a selector

I advise you to use the class selector as shown in the videos Also if this is the only place you need this specific style you can use ID="id_name" in html And #id_name{} inside css. but id's aren't made to reuse styles because they are primary used by JavaScript to select a specific element.
