    When it comes to itiles do understand that they are permalinks and for SEO purposes they are placed exactly where search engines expect to find them. There is not way you can move them to appease aesthetics on a free hosted wordpress.com blog with out purchasing an annually renewable CSS upgrade, and I’m not sure you can do that with it. But don’t despair because wordpress.COM has provided a “preview” function that you can use to try before you buy here > Appearance > Edit CSS

    We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

    If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

    Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

    If you do purchase the upgrade be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

    There are two issues here. First, some of your post titles have non-breaking spaces in them which will keep the two words on either side of the non-breaking space together no matter what. See the   in the following examples:

    Brazil is burning: audio report #chegadequeimadas
    Buy less, get more: sustainable consumption goes social
    From thought leadership to mass collaboration
    Rebuilding blocks: sustainability, economics, design

    You can edit those posts, delete the titles and then type the titles back in and hopefully that will get rid of the non-breaking spaces and make things look better.

    The second issue is that the titles for your theme are fully-justified in the CSS which means it is going to increase spacing between words are necessary to make the title fit full-width. Full justification typically does not stretch things out unless a title was long enough to go to a second line, or in this case when it encounters a non-breaking space.

    This should do it:

    body.single .post>h2 {text-align:center;}

    thanks will edit the titles
    @halluke as im a novice i have no idea where to insert that as but will have a try

    I have been looking for a self hosted theme a bit like this one but have been left uninspired (and lacking the time at the mo) to search for a blog front page site which is easy to read

    As you are posting in the CSS Customisation forum I assumed you had bought the CSS Upgrade. If you have then just copy that one line and paste it in to the CSS Edit box found in the Appearances section of your dashboard. Make sure to select “add to [theme]’s existing stylesheet” and then save your changes.

    If you don’t have the upgrade there’s no way to achieve what you want reliably.

    I just clicked this link and found that it’s not a wordpress.COM blog http://www.i-seeglobal.com If that’s the blog in question we cannot help you with it. You will need to post to http://wordpress/ORG/support/

    Please read this so you understand the differences > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
