It’s default to align left as usual. You see it as not, because you didn’t see the bounding box on its container.
Other issues are that site layout losing its responsiveness, and big bg image (693KB) that slows down the site.
You should use Web Dev Tool ( Press F12 ) to inspect element and its properties.
Firefox: Inspect Element
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector
Chrome: developer tools
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools
Lots of people use Firebug

The div with class .entry-content has a width of 68.9% and is center aligned. Removing the width or setting it to its default of 100% will allow the text to align to the left. This causes the two images to move out of place due to the negative margins set on them. Hope this helps, and become familiar with one of the above mentioned developer tools, they are extremely useful.
Good afternoon Jason,
For the life of me I can not find this “div with class .entry-content has a width of 68.9% and is center aligned.”
I am looking in (style.css).
Help, please.

Line 110 in style.css contains this CSS code block.

Dazdorey, I understand that you may not be interested in this message, but your “Child Theme” setup could easily confuse others who may be using this thread as guidelines:
Do not edit the theme’s files.
If modifications have been made on the theme’s original files, they will be erased when the theme updates. It’s especially important not to edit the default themes that come with WordPress otherwise they cannot be used for debugging purposes.
If you need to make just CSS modifications, you can do so through plugins that facilitate Custom CSS functionality. A particular favourite of mine is the Custom CSS Manager plugin.
If you need to make more than (and including) CSS modifications, create a Child Theme. Then, for every file you want to modify, copy it and paste it into your Child Theme directory (everything apart from functions.php and style.css). You can then modify those files in your Child Theme directory.
A Child Theme is not just a copy of the theme and a renaming of the theme’s folder.
Andrew,
I am most definitely interested and appreciate all your direction.
I did make my template a child (Theme Name: Twenty Eleven/Child/Irene Marie Dorey)
in the (style.css).
Am I correct in that?
I will go to the link you provided “Child Theme” to make sure.
I am trying my best to learn all about the mechanics of WordPress and find this forum incredibly helpful!
