How do I center the follow buttons in the sidebar?

The only button which appears to be centred is the Twitter follow button. Both my email and wordpress buttons are on the left and I need to center these as they currently look pretty pathetic.
There is no way of adding any code so I need another way of doing it!

Thanks

Hi,

There isn’t an easy way to tweak the positioning of the share buttons as it’s provided by the Jetpack plugin and the styling is not tracked by most theme.

One method you can use is via CSS. The following CSS code will center the share buttons:
```
div.sharedaddy {
    text-align: center;
}
```
Do note that you will need to be on a Business Plan in order to edit the page CSS.

Reading this again, I realized that you did not mean the Social Share buttons but the follow buttons.

I’ve looked and found the buttons to be attached to these 2 classes:
.widget_follow_button_widget .widget_blog_subscription

You can try adding the CSS styling for these classes.

As I am on wordpress.com I cannot add CSS code anywhere. Is there another solution or do WordPress just leave us on the lurch?

I see that you have a custom theme on the site, are you on the Premium or Business plan?

Business plan users get the option of adding CSS code.

Can I also know how were the buttons added to your site?

As I have already said, I am on wordpress.com, which is free apart from paying for my domain name.

The buttons are available through the widgets panel.
