   I've recently started up a new blog using the Manifest theme ( http://jimbarraud.com/2009/03/19/manifest/ ), but I've run into a problem. I was able to change the margins to suit my needs, but I can't get the navigation links at the top of the page to center! Could anyone be of assistance?

   My page: http://www.gurkani.com/blog

   What I think is the relevant code from style.css:

   /* Main Navigation
   -------------------------------------------------------------------*/
   
   #mainNav{
     margin-top: 10px;
     margin-left: 150px;
     margin-right: 150px;
     padding: 5px;
     background: #FBFBFB;
     border-top: 1px solid #EAEAEA;
     border-bottom: 1px solid #EAEAEA;
   }
   #mainNav ul{
     margin: 0 auto;
     width: 45em;
     text-align: center;
   }
   #mainNav li{
     display: inline;
     margin-right: 10px;
     font-size: 1.5em;
     text-transform: uppercase;
   }
   #mainNav li:last-child{
     margin-right: 0;
   }
   #mainNav a:link,
   #mainNav a:visited{
     color: #999;
   }
   #mainNav a:hover,
   #mainNav a:active{
     text-decoration: underline;
     color: #2E301C;
   }
   #mainNav .current_page_parent a:link,
   #mainNav .current_page_parent a:visited,
   #mainNav .current_page_item a:link,
   #mainNav .current_page_item a:visited{
     font-weight: bold;
     color: #2A2D1A;
   }
   #mainNav .current_page_parent a:hover,
   #mainNav .current_page_parent a:active,
   #mainNav .current_page_item a:hover,
   #mainNav .current_page_item a:active{
     color: #2E301C;
   }

   Hi,
   That did look strange. Try taking out the width figure below. I'm not sure why a particular width would be set there.

   #mainNav ul {
   margin:0 auto;
   text-align:center;
   width:45em;
   }

   That did it - I removed that block of text, and the links shifted over to center! Thank you for your help!
