Jacky,

I just centered them for you.  It was easy - you had one parameter in the template:

|align=x

where "x" was either "l" (that's a lower case L, not an upper case I) or "r"

I removed the lines with the align parameters completely - if not stated, the default will be center.  I could have left them there and simply change the "l" (for left) and "r" for (right) to "c" (for center).

One more thing you need to know about the align parameter - when an image is aligned center, text will not wrap around it.  When it is aligned left or right, however, text will automatically wrap and you need to use an addtional template to stop the wrapping - that is:

{{Clear}}

If you put the clear template immediately after the image, then the text will not wrap at all.

I'm sure you'll have no problem un-doing what I did if you want, by using the Changes tab - otherwise, I would have simply answered here and not edited your work.

Thank you I was working on the profile to get the images aligned a different way, I wanted some of the text to align with the images  I forgot to change the settings like I normally do when working.
If you tell me how you want it to look, I can do it for you.  I can get more than 1 image next to each other and/or put text next to an image or even between 2 images.  If I do it and then you look, you'll see how to do it in the future.

By the way, I can also center text, but it will be smaller - I can't make normal size text centered (at least not staying within the "recommended" rules).

You might want to take a look at the Holocaust category page - I used a lot of bells and whistles there.
I have it the way I want it set now. thank you
Good - sorry if I fouled you up.
