 * Hi! I’ve been trying to make all my posts center-aligned using CSS in my child
   theme, but can’t seem to make it work.
 * Any advice? Thank you 😉

 * Hi Andrew,
 * On each individual standard post (example: [http://www.quixotte.com/2014/04/first-back-to-the-roots.html](http://www.quixotte.com/2014/04/first-back-to-the-roots.html))
 * Instead of using html `<center></center>`, is there a way to do it with CSS in
   the child theme?

 * Not sure what you mean, they look centre aligned to me. Does the `<center>` tag
   do anything anymore?

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Added the following code into my child theme and it worked.
 * With thousands of individual blog posts, the <center> tag adds extra bulk to 
   the site, which is not I want.
 * Thanks again!
 *     ```
       .entry-content {
       text-align: center;
       }
       ```
