# Align postdate and posttitle

 * Hi,
    On my twentyeleven childtheme I made a datebutton but without the button,
   see: [http://www.knotjebril.nl](http://www.knotjebril.nl) with this code in index.
   php:
 *     ```
       <div class="postdate">
       <div class="postday"><?php the_time('d'); ?></div>
       <div class="postmonth"><?php the_time('F'); ?></div>
       <div class="postyear"><?php the_time('Y'); ?></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Now I want to **align** the date and posttitle, but i can not get it to work.
   Have tried everything with margin, padding, nothing works.
 * Concerning the posttitle I have centered it as follows:
 *     ```
       .entry-title, .entry-title a {
       text-align:center;
       }
       ```
   
 * Anyone any idea how to sort this out?

 * You probably need to put the postdate div inside the entry-header div:
 *     ```
       <header class="entry-header">
           <div class="postdate">
           <h1 class="entry-title">
       ```
   
 * and then use CSS to fine-tune the position, perhaps useing float: left;.

 * Thanks WP yogi, but this doesn’t work; I lost the date completely. It looks like
   this now:
 *     ```
       <header class="entry-header">
       <div class="postdate">
       <div class="postday"><?php the_time('d'); ?></div>
       <div class="postmonth"><?php the_time('F'); ?></div>
       <div class="postyear"><?php the_time('Y'); ?></div>
       </div>
       <h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h1>
       </header><!-- .entry-header -->
       ```

 * I just wanted to make sure I did the right thing.
    Do you have any other suggestions?

 * You’re not going to be able to align those unless the post date section is inside
   the article div. If you tried that and it stopped showing up, there was likely
   a code problem. If you post the template code **in a pastebin** so someone can
   look at the php code, that might be helpful.

 * Okay, thanks yogi, for your reply. Will try that.
