XHTML Strict
I'm starting to move to XHTML strict, but I'm having trouble with a few things... Apparently, the 'align' attribute is deprecated, but I've been unable to find a suitbal replacement, or any replacement to be precise... The CSS attribute 'text-align' works alright for text, but i'm trying to maintain my image alignment, while keeping the text surrounding it... Any help?

Float or margin depending.
You might want to look into some solid books on the topic by sitepoint or Eric Meyers.
For images, float is generally what you need, though it doesn't work in the same way and will pop things out because floating is literally, well, floating.
For block level elements, float for left/right or margin: auto; will work for centering, except in IE which is bloody annoying but a little minor trickery in the CSS file will adjust for that.

The "margin:0 auto;" works only in IE6 but with a doctype and meta charset tag but not in lower versions.
