Extended FAQ: How to center your Etsy Mini badge

[IndieAdmin]

If you've been able to add your Etsy Mini badge to your Indiepublic profile (if you haven't, click here for instructions!), you've probably noticed that it isn't quite centered.

I've been able to correct this with a relatively minor fix. Even if you don't know any HTML code, it's very simple.

First of all, here's the before:

Next, here's how it looks after I've centered it:

To do this, all you have to do is click the "Edit" button for your Etsy box. Then find the piece of the code near the top that says "table style="text-align: center;" and INSERT the code "width=440px".

Confused? Don't worry--here's a pictorial version. BEFORE:

AFTER (note the yellow highlighting where I've inserted new text):

Let me emphasize that I've changed NOTHING except for adding that "width=440px" into the code. It's that easy!

If you're super ambitious you can even alter the background of your Etsy badge to match your own background. HTML coders: it involves adding a "bgcolor" tag to your "td".

It will also work using the < center > < / center > tags (no spaces)

Now I have to go and fix it

Not to confuse the issue, but I have a second fix that works just as well. =~.^=

Before the start of the table code (IE: < table= ...), add this: <*center> and after the table code, add this: <*/center> . That will center all the code. *grins* (It's what I did to mine. LOL).
Remember to remove the asterisks from the center code! (asterisks= *)

There's nothing like figuring it out for yourself, though! =)
