For table-free layout:

Wrap the content in a <div id="wrapper"> with css:
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto; /* this centers your main area with no top or bottom margin*/
width: 960px /* or whatever width you want your main content area to be */
}

body {
background-color: #black; /* your choice of color, this fills the whole screen */
}

Further advice:

Sounds like you need to learn to actually write HTML and CSS or you wouldn't be asking that question.

Check out http://www.w3schools.com/css Their tutorial does a good explanation of CSS basics.

Then come back and add racer x's code to the style section.

Otherwise you'll have to use tables and that can get complicated.

Also, if you select View -> Page Source in your browser you'll be able to see the html coding for many sites. It's a good way to see how others have created their sites.

Some knowledge of HTML and CSS would be an advantage for you.
