Hey

Ok, I have created the basic template for my website @ [http://www.matthewpscott.com, Now I want to put it into CSS, XHTML, etc. I can do the majority of the CSS but I cannot get it the vertically centre content on the page like I have done with the background image in the mock up @ [url=“http://www.matthewpscott.com”]http://www.matthewpscott.com](http://www.matthewpscott.com). Can someone please give me the code snippit to achieve this.

Cheers

MS
