Display Problems Resolved???

Posted in News, Design Notes at 4:23 pm by Chris

Well, I spent about an hour going through my stylesheets and trying this, and that, and the other thing, without any success at fixing the problem of getting my site to center it’s content (when viewed in Mozilla.)

So, after I gave up and got a coffee, I set my stylesheet back to the original copy I had before I started trying to fix the problem, and I restarted the computer (I was having some speed issues with my internet connection.) Then, believe it or not, I pull up the Mozilla browser, and all is well! The site centers, everything’s been put back to the way it looked (minus the centering problem) before.

I’m not sure, but I think there may have been a refresh glitch in the browser, or it’s possible that it’s just my lucky day and re-uploading the original CSS file was all I needed? Regardless of what the solution was, it works, so all is good!

    Well, I should look into things a little more deeply the next time I go and say that somethin’g fixed, when it’s only partly so.

    It would appear that only the non-blog-based pages have been fixed, and that anything completely generated by WordPress is having an issue with the centering problem. I have an idea on how I might fix this yet, so we shall see how it turns out.

    Alright, simply copying over the existing stylesheets file to the WordPress theme folder, doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. It’s rather frustrating, actually.

    Oh. Wait. I think I know what’s got it.

    Well now, that makes a little more sense. :)

    The solution, after all, was not a mysterious correction in the stylesheet, but rather, that I had (and I had forgotten this) added a

    tag to the main site template with an attribute of align=”center”.

    I admit that it’s a crude solution, but apparently one that works, which is what I was looking for. At the moment, I am unsure as to why I was unable to make CSS center the contents of my page. I will have to look into getting an outside opinion.
