Forum:Making this template align to the left instead of center?

I know this is probably a stupid question to alot of people, but I really have no clue when it comes to templates. I've "made my own" by canibalizing the work of others (with permission or by giving credit of course) and I'm really struggling with something so simple. Usually I just work through trial and error, changing different fields and seeing what that effects but I've had no luck. Any help would be greatly apreciated. By default this template stays in the center of the page and I would prefer to have it to the left. I've attempted changing various fields, adding ;align:left; etc. Like I said, I have no clue or knowledge, they're just guesses.

On a side note, is there anywhere that I go to attempt to learn more about templates and the code behind them? I find it very frustrating not be able to do alot of things with my Wiki and not having anyone else with such skills, it'd be good to try and learn them myself. -- Lyco499 (talk ) 03:20, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Floating the surrounding container left might do the trick:


 * It depends a bit on the larger context though.


 * You can learn about templates at Help:Templates. What you have there is not really a template problem, though. That's a CSS problem. My personal recommendation would be the W3Schools tutorial, but there are tons of great CSS tutorials out there. You might want to do a bit of googling. --


 * MW:Help:Templates is also a useful page for template information. We may be able to offer more help if you give us a link to the template that you are trying to change. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 09:58, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * That did indeed do the trick, thanks both, for the help on the template and the tutorial suggestions :) -- Lyco499 (talk ) 18:42, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
