Layout Coding Question

[switch842]

This is probably really simple to do, but I'm really stupid about things like this.

I want to center the header menu (Previous Entries, Friends Page, etc) on the page. How do I do that? I've tried looking through the layout comm, but the one thing I found to try didn't work. It just duplicated the links "image."

I'm guessing there's a little piece of code I need to stick into my layout layer. But where? And what? A snapshot of my layer code is behind the cut. If any of you oh so lovely smart friends of mine could help, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Hmm. :-(

Oh, well. Guess I'll just have to make do with it as it is.

Well, I think it looks okay as it is, if that's any consolation?

LOL. Yeah, it's fine. It's just me kind of being all anal and stuff. :-)

Bwahahaha, I can totally relate!

I've just done what I suggested to you and pasted it into a CSS tester and it came out perfect, so I'm bamboozled.

The only thing I can suggest is perhaps searching up a customised LJ layout that provides you with the base CSS and then using that to customise from, because that way you know you're changing something that started off correct. I have no idea whether my method of retrieving your CSS for your current style is correct.

I recently adapted a theme by mentahelada and it worked great, once I knew which bits of code related to what. And I was still able to use LJ's little shortcut customisations (like the links and sidebar stuff) with it.

I did try that a few months back. Starting with a completely customized CSS. Same thing happened. You'd think if it didn't like the code or whatever, it'd give some sort of error message. *shrug* Oh, well. I'm fine with what I have.
