Some help applying a style, please.

Whoops… https://www.3mote.com

Hmmm…. I can’t see it yet .. (Thought I’d post to say I’m looking at least !)

hmmmm, What do you see? I think I figured out what I’m doing anyway…I guess I’m not as CSS savvy as I thought I was. I took the design from the human_condition example index page, which obviously isn’t the right thing to do. I’ll brush up on my css a little more.

I see a centred top bar with the date (just below your header box) but I can’t see why it should be that way…

I *think* that if the top date bar is moved to the left (where it should be and all the others are), the menu div will automatically go to where it should.

Top of your CSS:
body, html {
margin: 0 auto;
background: #E4F2FF url(hc/images/bg.gif) repeat-y center;
width: 767px;
font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, Sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
Why is the text-align set to center ?
I’d delete that, and see what happens

(Just delete ‘text-align: center;’)

I tried that…and it didn’t do that much, but thank you so much for looking. Here’s what it’s supposed to look like: https://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/styles/sample.php
I think I’m just applying the elements the wrong way.

If it’s the Human Condition style, then I think it’s your widths.
Check the overall size, and then see how much the content and menu elements want. If they go over, that will explain why menu is shunted down.
If it’s the other one, again check your width, and in menu, make it larger, and set padding for the menu content – ul / li

I’m an idiot. I failed to read the line that said, “These templates work with the generic wordpress template.” I was messing where I shouldn’t have been messing. Thanks for looking.

hehe – best way to learn this stuff is it break it, mend it, break it again, curse, mend it (repeat ad nauseum)
??

The text-align center is needed on the body to center the content in IE 5.5.

oops – sorry ??

It need not be aligned it just needs to be styled as aligned.
It can then be unaligned in your paragraphs. TY Bill.
