* How do I set up a WordPress Theme to center everything? I’m currently using the“
Your Theme.” Here’s the site: [http://www.westmontmusic.org/wordpress/](http://www.westmontmusic.org/wordpress/)

* You seem to be missing the containing div that centers your blog on the page,
unless its in your #content .narrowcolumn css.
* In your you have:
*
* Try this:
#container { background: white; width: 800px; margin: 20px auto; text-
align: left; /* IE 5.5 hack part II */ }
* HTML;
*
blah blah blah

* Am I suppose to put the container in the CSS stuff? Also, I don’t know where
the other stuff goes. For the banner, I put that in the header file using a php
include…

* Ok – for a start you have duplicate html tags sitting in your page. Open your
index page immediately and remove:
* **FOUND: **
Westmont
Music Announcements <
title>Westmont Music
* REMOVE the duplicate html tags and try the suggestion again.

* If those duplicate tags weren’t in your index page, open header.php and delete
them. That could well be your major problem with centering.
* As to the other… This goes into your style.css I’d put it under any reference
to your body coding.eg
* #body {
blah blah blah }
* #container {
background: white; width: 800px; margin: 20px auto; text-align:
left; /* IE 5.5 hack part II */ }
* This goes into your index.php AND any other template file that generates posts
or pages.
* Just after insert:
* Don’t forget to close the div –
before
