   I am trying to create a static page with a slightly different look than my blog. I have managed to create a new page file and uploaded it to my site called "page1.php" I then created a new rule in my style sheet for "pgcontent"
   my new file page looks like this:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Page 1
   */
   ?>

   <?php get_header(); ?>

   <div id="content">

   <div id=" pgcontent">...

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>

   <?php endwhile; else: ?>

   <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   </div>

   <!-- The main column ends -->

   I then added this new rule to my style sheet:
   #pgcontent {
   float: left;
   width: 440px;
   margin: 300px 20px 0px 0px;
   padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
   }
   #contentmiddle {
   float: left;
   width: 440px;
   margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px;
   padding: 20px 20px 10px 20px;
   }

   i cant seem to align the text in the middle of the page. I dont know if i should use the ""contentmiddle or the new "pgcontent" or if I have the margins wrong.
   here is a link to the page:

   any help would be greatly appreciated

   I clicked your link and loaded your page and it showed the 404 Page Not Found error aligned to the left in the middle column.

   A sidebar also appeared below it and it was aligned to the right.

   I believe it is the r_sidebar.

   To center align content in the middle panel, you would probably need to declare text-align on your contentmiddle and make sure that the actual content within doesn't have differently declared text alignment.
