Centering the Navigation Links

Hi Team Treehouse,

At the beginning of the video, "Style the Portfolio" I don't think it's ever explained how Nick centered the three navigation links and spaces them apart vertically. Additionally, I still have bullets showing up next to the images in my gallery. Can you help me to fix these issues? Thanks!

Best, Brendan
