same thing,
under div.postmeta
add:
text-align: center;

**just as a tip, i would recommend getting firefox and downloading firebug. it basically is a program that allows you to hover over elements on your webpage and see what code defines it. it also allows you to make adjustments to your code and see how it changes your website immediately, without actually changing your real code. it’s a great way to understand more about your site and learn how to fix small things like this. it also is a great way to fiddle around with your site and mess with settings to see what the effect is without possibly ruining your real code.

in your stylesheet under h2, did you try adding
text-align: center;

?

OMG.
thank you to everyone who responded, i sincerely appreciate you reaching out.

i’m an idiot, and somehow i had a copy of the theme file within the original file. so everytime i edited any layouts, it would just pull from the other file, and it wouldn’t change anything.

it works now, thank you!

i’m not sure that cacheing is the problem, i disabled and deleted all the plugins jsut to make sure one of them wasn’t messing things up.

it’s so strange, everything else works fine. i’ve always editing this theme like this, but for some reason, my header.php file seems to be completely unaffected. as if the theme isn’t pulling from that file at all! no idea…

heh. that was easy. o_O

thank you!

that’s strange…if you go the website that i linked (www.annapolitanbride.com) you’ll see in the sidebar, all the way at the bottom, one of the excerpts run by the widget. that’s what i’m referencing

all solved! thank you very much for your help.

to sum up:
basically, in my header.php, it called for my navigation menu and for the div id=page, which is the main body. so basically, the header encompassed the entire thing (which is kinda dumb IMO).
so i rearranged it, took out some stuff and put it into the main page index, and voila!

thanks, i’m not sure how to do a parent div, but i’ll look into it

it used to be kubrick “untheme” but it’s been heavily modified. the structure is the same though.
i appreciate your help. i’m trying to get borders and canted corners like this site: https://www.weddingchicks.com/

my approach was to make separate header, footer and main body images, but my main body height reaches to the top of my header. i can’t find any way to adjust it.

i realize this, but my site is live, and i’d rather not be having it look shoddy while it’s up…i’m not sure if there is a way around that?

a-ha! thank you, i knew it had to be something i was missing!

thank you! this worked beautifully!

nevermind, i fixed the problem

i had installed wordpress through dreamhost using the “easy” mode. needed to delete and reinstall using the “custom” mode.

thanks!

self-hosted through dreamhost

oh seriously?
so i don’t need all this FTP and installation stuff? because i’m not a techy idiot and it’s over my head, so i’m scared! haha

if i want to make my own theme…how would i do that?
on the wordpress codex, it says that i can click “install themes” on the admin panel, but i don’t see that there.
