 * Hello,
 * I have installed some custom social icons via the Arbitary Text Widget in the
   Header sidebar. I would like to know how to make them sit vertically centered
   please?
 *     ```
       <div id="sociallinks">
         <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/xxxx=$url$"
            target="_blank" title=Linkedin><img src=http://xxxx.png alt=Linkedin></a>
   
         <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xxxx=$url$"
            target="_blank" title=Facebook
       ><img src=http://xxxx.png alt=Facebook></a>
   
       <a href="mailto:xxxx" title=Email><img src="http://xxxx.png" alt="Email" /></a>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Please let me know if I have “messy code” as I’m learning and don’t want to be
   learning incorrectly.
 * Thank you!

 * Interesting… On my local copy of Vantage the text widget is automatically centered
   in the header. Vertically centering divs in an unknown height parent div can 
   be fun. Can you provide a URL so we can see what is going on?

 * Ok, maybe I’m not following… Viewing the site they appear to be centered vertically(
   equal top and bottom margins). Are you looking to stack them?
    0 0 0 If that 
   is the case I would code them as an unordered list:
 *     ```
       <ul id="sociallinks">
         <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/xxxx=$url$" target="_blank" title=Linkedin><img src=http://xxxx.png alt=Linkedin></a></li>
   
         <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/xxxx=$url$" target="_blank" title=Facebook><img src=http://xxxx.png alt=Facebook></a></li>
   
         <li><a href="mailto:xxxx" title=Email><img src="http://xxxx.png" alt="Email" /></a></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Then add the following to your css:
 *     ```
       #sociallinks {
          list-style: none;
       }
       ```

 * Well that’s interesting. I opened the page in IE and yes, they are vertically
   centered. Cleared cache etc and still I get the non centered result in my preview
   pages however pasting the link into a fresh chrome browser and it works fine.
 * Thanks and sorry for wasting your time 🙂
