    help question Centering column 2?

    Hi folks,

    Firstly great community you got here, I've been searching/reading the wikis loads to get me started! But I've hit a brick wall, I cannot find a thread/wiki about centering the middle column (column 2) of all pages. I've seen in admin you can control the size/position/existence of column 1 & 3 on the left and right, but the not the centre one! So at the moment I have:

    Column 1: ON, 150px
    Column 2: ON, Left alignment
    Column 3: OFF

    To explain what I mean, here's my shop so far: Link

    And here's an example of a live shop I found off the Zen site directory, that has a central middle column and matching side column (albeit right not left but the positioning is still good): Link

    I want to do this so that it looks more central and aligned, and also so I can upload a decent background!

    Many, many thanks for any help!

    You or your template has altered what is contained in the mainWrapper container so it is not responding as a default would
    Suggest you look at if you have edited the tpl_main_page.php file

    Add to your stylesheet
    Code:
    .centerColumn {text-align: center;}

    Okay I'm still having trouble to centre the whole lot, if you know what I mean?

    Sites here and here, have it how I want it! I would like the empty whitespace down the left and right so all the content/both columns are in the middle.

    Could it be the % in the mainWrapper?

    Hmm can't seem to edit my post above, so I'll post again.

    I'm making progress but could do with a spot more help:

    1. How can I move the bottom EZ bar to the centre with the other EZ bar?
    2. How can I make all links red (#e3492e)?
    3. How can I bring the left column into the centre to the left of the main image?

    Cheers for the help!
