    Hi all,

    I'm developing a site with the Education Pro child theme (http://dev.washingtonparks.net), and I'm looking at setting up several columns in the home-middle widget.

    Unfortunately, as things stand now, I only need three columns there, and it looks off-kilter.

    I was wondering, is it possible to center the home-middle widget, allowing fewer columns without the whole thing looking wonky?

    Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    Yes, this is possible.

    Place only three widgets in Home Middle.

    Modify your CSS as follows:

    Find this in your child theme stylesheet and change 25% to 33% for width.

    .home-middle .widget {
    	float: left;
    	padding: 0 20px;
    	text-align: center;
    	width: 25%;
    }

    Because of the odd number of widgets some wonkyness appears on tablets at 1023px. You can correct this by tweaking the media query for 1023px - change 50% to 100%:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) {
    	.home-middle .widget {
    		  width: 50%;
    	}
    }
    

    Choose your next site design from over 350 Genesis themes.
