• I attempted to center my blog and ended up totally messing things up. I’m too afraid to even attempt this without someone’s input. Thanks a million!

  • Looks like everything is now “Right” justified.

    Did you make this change in your theme options??

    I might have accidentally done this. Can you help me? I’m a newbie and constantly experiementing with code.

    I see you’re using Twenty Ten theme – own up now ?? Which file in the theme were you editing when things all moved to the right?

    I’m actually not sure what you’re asking me. Style css?

    Correct…were you changing the code in the CSS style sheet or some other file in your theme directory??

    I think I might have adjusted the wowslider css
    was toying with firebug and might have right justified

    Hi There:

    Firebug shouldn’t have created any permanent changes to your site, so I’m not thinking the code changed there. Firebug is great for checking your site and trying stuff without causing problems in your site code. You should only experience changes in your own browser window… yet in your case changes actually got applied to your code.

    Mostly people cause this to happen through their WordPress dashboard – ether:

    Appearance>editor>style.css

    Plugins>editor>”plugin you’re editing”

    There is an admin.css file in the wowslider plugin, but there’s not much in it.

    Can you think back and remember specifically what file your were editing?

    I’ve been fiddling with style.css in the editor and header.php. I know that I changed some positioning to absolute versus relative attempting to properly line up my slideshow with header and body. Urgh! I guess I did myself in this time.

    OK, so when I check the elements in your page, the left margin is set to 460 pixels.

    Obviously that’s not where it’s suppose to be.

    “Best practices” for modifying code is to back up the files on your harddrive before make changes.

    I’m assuming you don’t have those. SO, worst case is that you take default or “clean” versions of header.php file and style.css file from original sources and copy them to your server. The downside is that you’ll loose any other changes or mods that you’ve already made.

    BEFORE doing that, take the existing versions of these files and download them to your computer. That way, you can compare the known default “good” copies of the files to your “none working” ones now. The hope being you can find the code that has been changed and repair it back AND still be able to retain any other code you’ve previously modified.

    Hope that all made sense.
