I have a couple questions regarding Adelle theme.

1. If I am only going to use a couple of the social icons, is there a way to have them centered in the sidebar, instead of to the left?

2. How do I go about changing the font size/color, etc. for the title and the tagline? I tried some stuff, but saw no changes. Thank you!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Oh, and I would also like to change the color of each of the post titles.

How did you manage to centre the social icons? I can’t figure it out

You have no CSS editing skills. You don’t have correct answers to msmelanieblogs questions. In cases like this don’t post!

@msmelanieblogs, in this case, it looks she added one image for Twitter that is full width in the sidebar, so it didn’t need to be centered using extra CSS. I couldn’t find any other social media icons at http://cupofchic.com/

If you need help centering social media icons, could you create a separate help request with a link to the blog you’re working on?

I take that last request about making a separate post back this time :) I want to make sure the answer to the original questions still get answered here whenever possible, so here goes.

1. If I am only going to use a couple of the social icons, is there a way to have them centered in the sidebar, instead of to the left?

This will center-align the social media icons at the top right of the sidebar in the Adelle theme:
```
#social-networks {
	text-align: center;
}
#social-networks ul {
	display: inline-block;
}
```

2. How do I go about changing the font size/color, etc. for the title and the tagline? I tried some stuff, but saw no changes.

I found that http://cupofchic.com/ made this work using the following custom CSS:
```
.site-description {
	color: #fc9d9a;
	font-family:'Lora', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
	font-style:italic;
	font-size:19px;
	font-size:1.9rem;
	line-height:1.8
}
```
Nice!

Thank you, designsimply! I will go and try using the social media icon now, instead of my own.
