   When reloading the page, the theme will load in the center of the page, but move
   swiftly to the left when the page is loaded. My site is [. Can anybody give a hand?](http://loquaciousmadman.com/blog)

    I just took a quick look on your site and compared it’s stylesheet
   file with the [Vistalicious](http://www.dailyblogtips.com/demos/index.php?wptheme=Vistalicious)
   original stylesheet. And I was able to find this two differences (posting only
   the different parts of the code): Your Stylesheet:
 *     ```
       #wrapper {
        <strong> margin: 0 auto 0 auto;</strong>
         text-align: left; /* IE Centering Technique */
         }
   
       #header {
       <strong>  margin: 0 0 0;</strong>
         padding: 5px 0 25px 0;
         }
   
       #header h1.sitename {
         <strong>padding: 0 0 0 10;</strong>
         position: relative;
         font-size: 20pt;
         }
       ```
   
 * Vistalicious Stylesheet:
 *     ```
       #wrapper {
         text-align: left; /* IE Centering Technique */
         }
   
       #header {
         <em>margin: 0</em>;
         padding: 5px 0 25px 0;
         }
   
       #header h1.sitename {
         <em>padding: 0 0 0 0;</em>
         position: relative;
         font-size: 20pt;
         }
       ```
   
 * For the moment the best try is to re-upload the original theme files, but first
   deactivate it meaning switch to a different theme and after the original Vistalicious
   files are up on your server, you can try again to activate it. 🙂

 * I just tried that. I changed themes and deleted the Vistalicious theme from my
   folder and then reinstalled it. When I switch to the orignal theme with no customization,
   it is still left justified. Even the theme preview shows the theme left justified.
   I disabled all the widgets to no avail. Is there a code I can insert to move 
   the whole thing to the center?

 * I’m marking this as resolved. I can’t figure out the problem and I’m giving up
   on it.
