 * Whenever I start a new blog entry, the default in the program automatically centers
   my text. I have to type my entry and then format it to left align. Does anyone
   know how to set the default to left align automatically? Thanks.

 * the theme actually formats the text in post ‘justified’ as default.
 *     ```
       .post {
       	margin: 0 0 40px;
       	text-align: justify;
       	}
       ```
   
 * you can edit this in style.css and change it to:
 *     ```
       .post {
       	margin: 0 0 40px;
       	text-align: left;
       	}
       ```

 * OK. I see it. However, I don’t know how to save…even though I am the owner of
   the site (i.e. permissions).

 * It’s not the viewing that is the issue.
 * The issue is that when I go to create a new entry, the entry is automatically
   formatted to center or justify…even after I made adjustment noted above.

 * i checked the site, and it is not the style.css that is causing this behaviour.
   
   if i remove the alignleft inline style for the paragraphs (in firefox), it is
   still aligning left.
 * maybe there is a fault with the build-in editor ?

 * I transferred the file to my computer and edited in notepad then I transferred
   it back.

 * your theme file is ok.
    i am trying to think of reasons why your new posts are
   by default aligned justified in the editor, instead of left aligned.

 * Greetings everyone,
 * I found the problem in the style.css doc. I changed the text-align “left” from“
   center”.
 * That fixed it. Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
