Hello everyone!

So, I'm working on this site: http://institut.web.unc.edu/ and currently am using this CSS to eliminate sidebars but still create the sidebar space

div#wrapper {
width: 50%;
}

h1.blogtitle, h2.blogtitle {
width: auto;
}

However, once I did that, it made the page menu and blog title go wonky. I have both regions as text-align: center; in the Atahualpa theme options...but it still doesn't look centered.
Any suggestions?

If you want a blank sidebar, just add a text widget to it and put ' ' in the text section. That will create a blank and you shouldn't have the problems you have now.

I have both regions as text-align: center; in the Atahualpa theme options...but it still doesn't look centered.

it doesn't look right because the text is so long it has to wrap and the wrapping does not happen 'centered' (a CSS thing)

What are you trying to accomplish? are you looking to have a space on both sides of the content? If so go to ato->Style & configure LAYOUT set a % for the LAYOUT width and put in a minimum and maximum width.

Thank you so much.

Editing the LAYOUT options worked well and gave me a side region that satisfies what I need while being able to eliminate the CSS code.

The only issue now is still the fact that I'm unable on here http://institut.web.unc.edu/ to move the blog title and tag line so that they are directly above the image in the center.

Have you taken a look at it with the firebug extension of Firefox?
