Hello! I have been trying to figure out how to do two things on my blog and cannot seem to figure it out.

1. I want to have my menu text left aligned instead of centered because it looks WEIRD on larger resolutions.
2. I want to be able to change the color of the follow button in the sidebar widget. Best I can see is it is in an iframe and I was able to find & change the background of that whole tile, which was weird. Essentially I would love it if the coding that makes the ‘More posts” button in the main part area also were applied in the sidebar.

I am using the Sela theme, and my blog is: https://readervoracious.com/

Thank you so much in advance.

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

Hi there!

1. I want to have my menu text left aligned instead of centered because it looks WEIRD on larger resolutions.

Add the following CSS in My Sites->Customize->CSS and see if it works for you
```
@media screen and (min-width: 768px)
.main-navigation ul {
    text-align: inherit;
}
```
2. Do you want to change the colour of the Follow button to purple colour like Older Posts button colour? If yes, here’s the code
```
input[type="submit"] {
    background-color: #7B5F8A;
}
```
Lets us know if it works for you.

Hi there, thanks so much! The code for the follow button worked!!!

Unfortunately the text in the menu bar remains centered, but thanks for trying.

Hi there,

For the centred text, does the following work?
```
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  .menu-primary-container ul#menu-primary.menu.nav-menu {
     text-align: inherit;
}
}
```
That hopefully should give this effect on larger resolutions: https://prnt.sc/llrw6v

But please let us know if it doesn’t. :)
