Hello everyone! Tiffany here! It’s so great to be here and to begin sharing all kinds of tips with you! Today I’m going to share a very simple trick to get your blog header to be centered!!
The blogger template I’m using is probably one of the most popular ‘Picture Window’, but this tip can be used with most any template!
The problem is the width of my blog is actually wider than my pretty header image. Don’t you just love this pretty header? It was a freebie from Keren, find it here at Free Pretty Things for You! Before I added it to my blog I brought it into Photoshop and added a lovely verse!
But it would look a lot better if it were centered on top of my blog! So here are a couple of quick steps to make that happen!
How to Center Your Blog Header on Blogger
1. First go to TEMPLATE > CUSTOMIZE > ADVANCED > ADD CSS
2. Choose the code that best fits your needs below! Copy & Paste it in the space as shown above. *Please Note* Hit your ENTER Key after you paste the code snippet.
Option A: If you used “INSTEAD OF TITLE AND DESCRIPTION“ option:
With this option the image was added as a <img> HTML element. Use these code snippets to align the element.
To Center:
[showmyads]
To Align Right:
The ‘300’ number can be adjusted higher or lower to move your image left or right.
To Align Vertically:
The ’50’ number can be adjusted higher or lower to move your image up or down. This code snippet can be used in conjunction with the 2 above.
Option B: If you used “BEHIND TITLE AND DESCRIPTION“ option:
When you choose this option, Blogger added your header image as a background to the header. To align it you need to add one of the follow snippets of code:
To Center:
To Align Right:
All Done!! Oh that is so much better!! Below are a few extra aligning tips for your headers!!
Line Up Your Header Text
If you would like to Line Up your Header Text (Title & Description) then use of one these snippet codes: These codes will work with text-only header and the text in “Behind Title & Description” image placement option.
To Center:
To Align Right:
To Align Vertically:(apply top padding)
The ’50’ number can be adjusted higher or lower to move your image up or down. This code snippet can be used in conjunction with the 2 above. Also, to adjust the Description use .descriptionwrapper
Line Up Image & Text Side by Side
Use one of these snippets if you want to split up your header into 2 parts positioned side by side, an image and text: These codes will work with the “Behind Title & Description” image placement option.
To Place Image on Left & Text on Right:
Increase left padding to push away texts to the right of the image header
To Place Text on Left & Image on Right:
Increase right padding to push away texts to the left of the image header.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I had found a way to cheat so that my header looked centred but after creating a new one to match the badge I created, it was best to learn to centre it properly. I’ve had an appt. to visit this post in my calendar since I came across it in November so was finally able to put your tutorial to use. Thanks again for the great tips!

it doesn’t work for me :( don’t know what i’m doing wrong! i paste the code in the CSS box and apply it but nothing changes and the code is just written at the top!
PLEASE HELP?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think it’s centered better! (bookmarking this great “tip” place). And I do love your sweet butterfly header! I should have rounded the edges on my image but it’s OK for now… thanks again. Quick and easy peasy! {Ohhh, you might wanna add to delete any prewritten stuff in the Add custome CSS box before adding yours. at least mine had something already there to center but it sure didn’t look center, it looked more to the left align… in Blogger and I do use the picture window too!} Bless you … Peggy

Hello! This was simple and easy to follow! One thing worth adding maybe is that you have to erase the code that is already there, then add the new one :) I know its common sense to most, but I didnt do this first and then went back and did it and saw the centered banner after that! Thank you again!
Oh great, thanks for this. I’m not tech savvy but this was so easy to follow. Thanks Tiff
