I recently moved my blog from blogger to wordpress, and in doing so, got a weird bug.

On blogger, I had it displaying fine on at least IE 5.0 and up, Safari, and Firefox, but for some reason, when I moved it, it ceased working on Firefox and (I'm guessing though haven't verified) Safari.

The issue is just that the page won't center. As far as I can tell, Firefox is ignoring automargin in the wrapper and just pushing everything to the left. Any idea what I might have done to break it?

The page is at www.oldcrankybrewers.com/blog

I posted the relevant css below.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is any help. But I copied your code and tested it internally and firefox had it centered, but when accessing it on your site it wouldn't center.

Thanks. That's really weird. I have no idea what could be causing it. Are there any alternate centering strategies that might work?

Best,
Ben

To my understanding, I don't believe so. Setting left and right margins to auto should do it for firefox.

Sorry!
