   Hi. Let me first say that I've read several things and they all end with check line something or other and change this code but when I look I don't see it and even if I did I'm unsure if I type all the weird code in or just a certain part. So I need a thorough explanation and would greatly appreciate it. Anyhow, my problems are as follows:

   1) My bullets line up slightly off to the left of the text over top of it.
   2)My font needs to be an odd numbered font and all that I can set in fonts are even numbers.
   3)I think I have double spacing and I either need single or 1.5 spacing to make it format properly... Not sure which will be right until I try it. And last but not least...
   4) My template is really nice, however, the right side isn't as close as it is on the left side making my content aligned properly but not filling the page as well as it could on the right side... Is there any way I can shave a few pixels or whatever it's called off the right side so that it fills the page how I wan't?

   Whoever helps me I thank god for you. I've been stuck for 2 days and have been working diligently like a good little boy. I'm not that far but I feel like for having no idea what I'm doing that I've done AMAZINGLY well. That said, I am stuck until someone decides they wish to help me lol. So by all means please do... Thank you in advance and have a VERY Merry Christmas!

   We need a link to the site you are talking about. Each theme is unique so solutions are going to be different.

   It's not live yet... my theme is optimize press. How do I hook it to the site to make it live? Or is knowing I have optimize press good enough? If it's not tell me what to do to make it live and I'll make it live. Thanks.

   http://superstarmusicmarketing.com/opt-in/ is my link...

   I figure out how to make it live... Anyhow, after some experimenting with copy and pasting from from one page to the next my bullets aligned properly. Now my problems are as follows...
   1) I need slightly more space between my words to the right of the video. I think another whole space would be too much. I need my text to end even with the bottom of that video box.
   2) I still need to figure out how to either stretch text a little to the right or preferably trim just a tiny bit of the template on the right side to fit text and balance better.

   When you explain about the CSS sheet please be thorough with what I have to remove or add or what exactly I'm adding to as I am VERY confused. Thanks in advance.

   Deleted your CSS posts. With your URL, we can see that.

   Also you're tripping the spam filter. please don't post more than 10 lines of code at a time.

   The first thing to remember about the web is that it isn't like doing page layout where you have complete control of the output. You don't. The visitor does via how their browser preferences are set and which browser they are using since each browser will render things slightly differently. You can fight to get something to look just perfect in Firefox and then view it in Internet Explorer and find all that time you spent getting everything just perfect was wasted because IE doesn't render things the same as Firefox.

   1) Right now in Safari the text ends right at the bottom of the video box. In Firefox, just slightly above that line. In Internet Explorer it might end a full line below the edge of the video. I think you are as good as you can get on that text beside the video.

   2) The container where the text and video is is slightly off center when looking at things using Firebug. The thing is, lines of text are going to end at different places and might not be clear to the right edge. You could do full justification on the text, but that will add extra space between works and I don't think you will like that. The following, addition to the CSS will center the content container.

   Go to appearance > editor, open blog-style.css and find

   #launchbk

   Add the following two lines to that:

   margin-left: auto;
   margin-right: auto;

   so it looks like this.

   #launchbk {
   margin-left: auto;
   margin-right: auto;
   padding-bottom: 15px;
   padding-left: 50px;
   padding-right: 50px;
   padding-top: 20px !important;
   width: 860px !important;
   }
