 * Hello,
 * I currently have the following CSS code in my custom stylesheet:
 *     ```
       .type-post, .type-page {
       	background: #cccccc;
       	width: 1100px;
       	padding: 18px;
       	border: 18px solid #a6a6a6;
       }
       ```
   
 * This has gotten my posts to look exactly as I want them, except I need them to
   be centered on the page. Is there one more line I can add to this code (i.e. “
   position: ____”, etc) that will center the entire box which contains the posts?
   
   My site is: [http://soundsoftheaveragelife.com/](http://soundsoftheaveragelife.com/)
   you can easily see what I mean when you check out the site.
 * Thanks!

 * If only allowed to modify this one CSS snippet, I’d have to suggest:
 * `margin-left: -200px;`
