html code

[snoozzinsuz2]

I have been frustrating the hell out of myself all day (as in it would probably have falling into the category of obsessing/fixating).

I am looking for help using the new templates in blogger and decipher the tags in the html code...

if anyone knows anything about this I will go into more detail with my question---no need to put it all in here now if

I need more information to know if I know anything about it or not.

I am trying to help a friend with the widget code on his blog and normally it's not that difficult but this one I just can't figure out

-- here is the link

oops-- forgot--- the part I am talking about specifically is ALL THE WAY DOWN at the bottom-- the lists and the last picture in the footer--

I am trying to get the entire widget to be centered on the page but I can't seem to figure out where to add it in the code- and I can't seem to upload the word doc that I have pasted the code into.

I really have never done much with blogger. If I was looking at raw html I might be able to help out.

here's the snippet thats starts the widget-- in case it makes any sense...

<b:widgetid='LinkList5' locked='false' title='2009-10 Selections (A Work in Progress!)'type='LinkList'/>

<b:widgetid='LinkList46' locked='false' title='2008-9 Selections' type='LinkList'/>

<b:widgetid='LinkList73' locked='false' title='2007-8 Selections' type='LinkList'/>

<b:widgetid='LinkList74' locked='false' title='2006-7 Selections' type='LinkList'/>

<b:widgetid='LinkList77' locked='false' title='2005-6 Selections' type='LinkList'/>

have you tried wrapping it in a div or even old fashioned center tags?

<div style="text-align: center;">


your widget here


</div>


[/code]

I have tried it but I must not be putting in the right place--

here is a live piece of code I can play with.... where should I put it in this code?

<b:section-contents id='sidebar-right-1'>

<b:widget id='Profile1' locked='false' title='Who am I?' type='Profile'/>

<b:widget id='Feed1' locked='false' title='Blog and Web' type='Feed'/>

<b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='Favorite Songs' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='BlogList1' locked='false' title='My Blog List' type='BlogList'/>

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Blog Archive' type='BlogArchive'/>

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='counter' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='TextList1' locked='true' title='try' type='TextList'/>

</b:section-contents><b:section-contents id='footer-1'/></html>

I have no idea what that's supposed to do so I can't tell you.

I've never messed with Blogger beyond 5-minute one-offs.

Someone else might be more helpful.

If you're willing to pay me I could probably figure it out in an afternoon.

I haven't done any work with blogger either, plus I'm very rusty with my HTML as I haven't done web design for years, but I'm guessing the list styles is being determined by CSS?

I had a look at the source code for the site, and I see this: <link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='http://www.blogger.com/static/v1/widgets/2002658060-widget_css_2_bundle.css' />

At the risk of over-complicating things, I wonder if you can/have to modify that in order to get your widget to appear the way you want.
