# Centering type

 * If you go to missionuganda.info, you will notice right away that the navigation
   text in the righthand column is justified left and spilling off the graphic stamp.
   I need this centered on each stamp, but I’m not sure where to go to make this
   change.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks

 * Check the style.css and see what it says for:
 * `#sidebar ul li`
 * see if one of the properties for that ID is `text-align: center;`
 * If not, try adding that. If it messes up other things, try putting that CSS property
   into
 * `#sidebar ul li h2`
 * instead.

 * I don’t have a file called “style.css.” Here are the css files I do have. Can
   you tell which of these it might be?

 * I think that SS_Minnow may have been referring to the style sheet for the theme
   you are using. It can be located in the WP Africa theme folder;
 * //missionuganda.info/wp-content/themes/WP Africa/style.css

 * OK, I went to the WP Africa theme folder and opened the “style-ie6.css” file.
   If you go to [missionuganda](http://www.missionuganda.info) and look in the far
   righthand column, the subject of each navigation tab is flowing off to the left.
   I’m trying to center this type. By looking at the content of “style-ie6.css” 
   can anyone tell me which “left” needs to be made “center” to correct this?

 * The file you want is where I told you it could be found. _“It can be located 
   in the WP Africa theme folder; [http://missionuganda.info/wp-content/themes/WP%20Africa/style.css&#8221](http://missionuganda.info/wp-content/themes/WP%20Africa/style.css&#8221);_
 * It is named **style.css** , not “style-ie6.css”

 * Find this:
 * #sidebar ul h2 {
    background : url(images/sidebartop.jpg) no-repeat; width: 210px;
   font-weight : 100; font-size : 19px; margin : 20px 0 5px 10px; padding : 18px
   0px 18px ; color : #111111; text-align : left; text-decoration : none;
 * And change it to this:
 * #sidebar ul h2 {
    background : url(images/sidebartop.jpg) no-repeat; width: 210px;
   font-weight : 100; font-size : 19px; margin : 20px 0 5px 10px; padding : 18px
   0px 18px ; color : #111111; **text-align : center;** text-decoration : none;
 * That will center the titles in the ribbon images..

 * Spaces in directory names are such a pain in the rear.
