How To Center Blogger Components.

 CENTER YOUR POST  & DATE TITLES 

This is all done by adding CSS in Blogger's Template Designer. The template designing tool allows us to change font colors, font styles, sizes, etc.

Click Template  *  Click Customize *  Click Advanced  *  Scroll down until you see Add CSS.

You will see a white box, on the right. Add the below codes in there and hit the enter key on your keyboard. That's important! Click apply to blog if all looks good. After you click enter, the post title and date should be centered.

.post-title {
text-align:center;
}
.date-header {
text-align:center;
}
  

Take a look to see if your post titles and date are centered. Remember to ALWAYS back up your template before doing any editing. Adding these codes in here is much safer than editing your html.
All of the following codes are added the same way.

Template > Customize > Advanced >Add CSS> 


CENTER YOUR HEADER


Paste the following code in the whitebox:  and click enter!


#header-inner img {margin: 0 auto;} 

Or
You can use this code if you know the width of your blog.

#Header1 {width:900px;margin:0 auto}

Change 900 to whatever size your header is.

Before

After


Center your Pages -Pagelist Gadget

.Pagelist {textalign:center!important;}
.Pagelist li {display:inline !important; float:none  !important;}

Example- not centered
Centered




Center Your Sidebar Titles

aside .widget .title
{text-align:center !important;}

Or
.sidebar h2 {text:center !important;}

Always click enter on your keyboard to show the changes and click apply to blog if all looks good.

I hope this helps some of you!
Making your blog pretty can be fun.

  2. Linda, thank you so much for this. HTML is not a language I am familiar with and sometimes I wonder how I can do my blog (LOL!), but Blogger does make it easy enough for me. I registered with and tried Wordpress and found it so difficult. I only registered out of curiosity, because some former Blogger users switched to Wordpress, but I found it complicated so didn't bother with it. :)

  5. Good morning Linda!

    About four years ago, I had a blog designer do this for me and I loved the results. She also changed the code so my photos would be larger than they used to appear, so that's great. But I want to make sure I can refer to this wonderful post to play around with another blog I use only for testing purposes.....YOU ARE AWESOME! You are really good with this technical stuff, and I've received so much help from a few great blogger friends. And I hope you are well today. Keep us posted on everything, OK? Love, Anita

  15. Linda, Jess does most of the design work on our blog, and that's why we don't change the Header except once a year because we have to come up with a Header that we all agree and like. Thanks for the tips. Blogging can be complicated sometimes, but through the years, we learn so much more about it.

    I hope you are enjoying this month of August.

    love, ~Sheri
