You can use HTML center tag to center a division. ust after body tag use center tag and close this tag before the end of body tag.
Example
Using the "center" tag to wrap a web page, seems like quick solution. It was a good try. It's nice to see other users trying to help. But for several reasons, the "center" tag isn't practical.
The first reason, and probably the most important, is that Lyndon is using the Website Wizard. The Wizard does not provide the user with access to the web page structure. The Wizard divides the page into small content areas and the user only has access to one content area at a time.
Another reason is that the "center" tag does not take into account the contents of the style sheet. If you did actually wrap the web page HTML in a "center" tag, and I did, you would find out that only part of the page would center. The header and footer, for example, would say blocked left, making the whole page look really strange. And that is in Firefox 3.5.2. In IE7, it's simply ignored.
There are other reasons, but the point is that centering can be done. It requires the addition of a style. The Wizard does not allow the user access to the style sheet, but a style setting can be added to the end of the main content area, using the Code Editor mode. Just follow the "manage website" link and open one of your pages for editing. Then select one of the content blocks for editing. It really doesn't matter which one, but it's best to choose one that doesn't have much in it. Then switch to the Code Editor mode and add the following code to the end of any content in the block.

OOPS!! Looks like I had an extra "http://" in the link for my last post. This link to the example should work.

Lyndon,
While the Wizard Layouts are all similar, the Wizard Themes are very different from each other. The style setting that I previously listed, was specific to the Wizard Theme that Jon was using.
For your theme, use the following style setting. This centers the "div" that is wrapped around your content. If you create other pages, and want them centered, you will need to add the style setting to each page.
