/**************** 1º method to center all elements ********************/
body {                   
  text-align: center;
}

/* If all of your elements have the property display equal to "inline", 
"block" or "inline-block", then you can use the text-align: center in
the <body> tag */

tag_name {
    display: inline; /* block or inline-block*/
}

/*...but if we have an element of type "block" with a width diferente
from the default (maximum width of the page), then this will no 
longer work!*/
