 * I’d like to center my entire blog, but I don’t know how. I’ve attempted to fiddle
   with margins, but of course I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestions would
   be appreciated. Thanks!

 * One way is to use this:
    #rap { margin: 0px 100px 0px 100px; border: solid #000
   1px; background: white; } BUT… you have other elements which seem to be taking
   their positioning from somewhere else, so if you insert that (just put if after
   the #rap you already have to see) the display breaks. You could insert that and
   then go through correcting the positioning, but I can’t see a very easy fix right
   now.

 * In your wp-layout.css find:
    body { and add to this division (within the curly
   brackets): margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center; That should
   do it.

 * I tried this:
    margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center; But that
   just center the blog text. I’d like to move the whole thing over so that there
   is less space on the right.

 * The rap div encloses everything, so that is the place to start.
    As I said though,
   some elements may behave oddly and need sorting – but that’s why we are here 
   🙂

 * It centered quite nicely now. 🙂 But now the background image isn’t visible and
   the footer is wider.

    Where did this go exactly ? It

 * Well if you get fed up with you layout looking a bit haphazard you could try 
   the [Gemini Template](http://www.atthe404.com/wordpress). A lot of folks find
   it easy to implement. Good luck.

    I did check out your Gemini Template. And I will consider it.
