 * I can’t seem to get my header image and my nav bar to center align with the background
   image. I also can’t get the nav bar right up underneatht the header image where
   it belongs.
    I’m new to WordPress, switching from Blogware and tables (gasp!).
   I’d really appreciate any help. [http://www.secondnegative.com](http://www.secondnegative.com)

 * Okay, I did that. Looks like I have other validation issues I hadn’t looked at.

 * Oops.. then have this back in index.php where the header is called
    `<h1 id="
   header">["><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-alignment/"<?php)
   </h1>`

 * Okay, I added that. Of course, mousing over my header image now brings up a blue
   hover effect.

 * Try this:
    h1#header a:hover { display: none; } It’s odd. I can see #rap defined,
   I can see it used in the code, but I can’t actually see it ..

 * Well, that works, but it’s doing something funny to my cursor. Looks like it’s
   trying to switch from the pointer to the hand and back really quickly.

 * What do you mean about the #rap ? What don’t you see?

 * I _think_ it’s sums..
    Your rap is 650 wide, but the main image is only 626. 
   Highlighting the code blocks shows things slightly out of line with each other,
   but I can’t see why (floats are not my strong point) and I too see the flicker
   but from what I can see, I don’t know what’s causing it. Worry not, someone with
   more knowledge than me on this will be along soon !

 * I set the rap to the size of the background image, but it has a black shadow 
   on both sides, so I had to use a smaller width on the header image. That’s why
   it’s smaller.
    Ha, yeah I’m confused.

 * @ podz: I am not sure about margin: 0; in #header. Just my 2c.

 * Cool, that worked for the header image. It’s now aligned, except for some strange
   thing going on with Opera which leaves room at the top.
    Anybody know what I 
   can do to fix the nav bar alignment now?

 * I’m sorry to raise this again, but I am having the same problem, and I’m new 
   to this, and I can’t figure anything out. My page is [http://danielo.blogsome.com/](http://danielo.blogsome.com/),
   and it looks fine in FireFox. However, in IE, the header image ([http://danielo.blogsome.com//wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/brushed-simple/img/header.gif](http://danielo.blogsome.com//wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/brushed-simple/img/header.gif))
   and main body text will not center, instead they are over to the left, while 
   the body image ([http://danielo.blogsome.com/wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/brushed-simple/img/body.gif](http://danielo.blogsome.com/wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/brushed-simple/img/body.gif))
   is centered. I can’t figure out how to make it look right in BOTH browsers. Any
   help/hints appreciated.
