Okay, I know it’s probably a little late to be asking this, since my site has been up and running for about 6 months now, but I’d like to know how to center my pages.
What I mean is, if I view it on my 12-inch iBook monitor, the page will be centeres, like most web pages are. But then if I view the same page on a 17-inch widescreen monitor, it will also be centered.
I’m no web designer. I grabbed a copy of Dreamweaver, and Dreamweaver for Dummies and tweaked a template, but now I want to do a little fun stuff with it, and realized that centering it should be simple, but I cannot find anything on how to do that.
How in tarnation do I make that happen?
Thanks in advance!

In the code view, you could put \ on top, right after the \
tag, and then \ at the bottom, right before the \ tag. That might do it, depending on how your site’s built.

I think what you mean is you want your fixed width web pages centered within a browser window regardless of the size of that browser window.
That being the case, check out [CSS Centering 101](http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/09/08/centering.html) from Simple Bits.

Great, thanks guys. I’ll try out both things.
