Centering the Post title (or Page title) in your Blog

This article is about how to centre-align the title that is shown for all Posts and Pages in blogs made with Blogger.


Center/Centre alignment

Blogger's template designer lets you choose the colour and font-size of the Post title.  This is true even for most Layout templates (ref:  What type of template does my blog have?) though some don't have an option to edit the post-header.

However it doesn't, yet, have an option to change the alignment, ie whether the title is flush with the left or right side, or in the centre.

But this is very easy to do, provided you're willing to accept the disadvantages of editing your blog's layout template.

To centre-align the post title, simply add this rule to the CSS section of your blog's layout template:
h3.post-title{
  text-align: center;
}
See Adding a new formatting rule to your template if you need help with editing your template to add the rule.


Right alignment?

Making the post or page title header right aligned is just as easy:  add this rule instead:
h3.post-title{
  text-align: right;
}
