[a href=\"http://www.funnyemailforwards.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]Website I am working on[/a]

Ok Here are the things I am trying to do, I just can't figure out, at the bottom, I created a list with navigation, I can't get it to center, or the thing below it, I tried text-align:center in css, I rely mostly on CSS, and I REALLY don't want to use html to position, I want to be able to do this in, CSS, is it possible for me to find a way to get those centered.
ANY help I would be greatly appreciative.
