Concept: Center text and images and draw a line across the page

Explanation:

• Now that you've got this far, you'll have no trouble with this.
• To center any object (text, images, whatever) just bracket all its code between <CENTER> and </CENTER>
• Nothing could be simpler than drawing a line across the page: <HR> does the trick.
• Like <BR>, <HR> does not have an /end tag.
