Author: Russ Weakley

Comments: There have been a few requests for a centred list navbar, so here it is. The key is "text-align: center" applied to the UL element.

ABOUT THE CODE
Some lists within the Listamatic site had to be modified so that they could work on Listamatic's simple list model. When in doubt, use the external resource first, or at least compare both models to see which one suits your needs.
