Want to center your Blogger pages links?

By default, the blogger pages links are on the left of the template.  Not everyone likes this and I have had a few questions about centering them.

Here is an example using my Notebook Scribbles template:



Changing these links to be in the centre of your blog is not very difficult.





Want to know how?

1) Go to the "Template Designer" area within Blogger.  In the far left area, select the "Advanced" tab and then the "Add CSS" tab in the second column (hint, it's way down the bottom).

2) Paste the following code into the CSS window:


.PageList {text-align:center !important;}
.PageList li {display:inline !important; float:none !important;}

Click for a larger preview

3) The live preview of your blog should update in the window and you should see that these links are now centered.  If you are happy, click "SAVE".

That's it!

  3. Hello Candy,
    I have a problem that drives me nuts. I used your code to center the pages as you said to and than saved. When I open the blog the pages are centered but after a second the links go in the middle 1 under another and the tabs backround color goes to the left one under another. Can you maybe have a look at my page?

  4. Hi Odilia - yep, easy question - you have too many tabs. The new line of tabs will move to the next row (and that will then be centred).

    If you have fewer menu tabs (ie: over one line) this won't be a problem

    Cheers

  5. Hello Sharnee,

    Thanks for the response. It had nothing to do with the too many tabs thing. However I took out some parts of the code related to the tabs and it works now in both firefox and ie.
    Succes further with your blog! Nice stuff you have here!

  6. Thank YOU so much for this layout! For the first time ever I look forward to LOOKING at my blog!

    I was wondering though how to even get the links at the top, I looked through your blog (not the whole thing) but I was wondering if you could direct me to the link. Thank you again so so much!

  8. Whoa! Thanks, this helped a lot! Only, if you want it to be a centered list, change 'inline' to 'outline' ;)

  20. I followed all the steps but I seem to be experiencing a bit of a problem. The code works for my site on Firefox but on IE, the links are on top of one another instead of being in the same horizontal line. Can you please help me?

    Thank you! :)

  21. The masѕage is additіοnally dοne to postpоne the
    aρparіtion of fatigue! Some stateѕ ѕtіll hаve no licеnѕing гequirements.
    The key iѕ feelіng comfortable with one's professional massage therapist.

    This not only gives an overall sense of relaxation but also works at enhancing the blood circulation, lessening the time needed for muscles to recover during injuries, stretching of tendons, stimulation of the skin and lowers blood pressure thereby giving the client an improves sense of health inside out. Designating that many therapists as lead and then strategically scheduling them in order to cover the entire work week would surely prove to be an ineffective solution if not a nearly impossible plan. Apart from these, there are also certain conditions you may not know you suffer from, but which can be the cause of your neck pain!! But the trend has been changed in this modernize world and now i guess. In the same way, chair massage could also enhance performance at school or at work.

  22. Hi, I've tried to center my pages using the Advanced CSS but it isn't working. Is it possible that there is something in my HTML code that is over-writing this? Any help would be SO appreciated! Thank you! nattymichelle.com
