    I can, Gary.

    First off, start by using a complete and proper DOCTYPE. You should also learn how to use HTML properly as well (for example, your menu is a list of links - mark it up as such; another one is that you forgot to close your HTML tag). Absolute positioning is not acceptable (or even practical) for general layouts, and well, generally, I'd just toss the whole thing out and start over. Fortunately you don't have much there to begin with, so there won't be much to replace.

    to center the div you have to set its right and left margin auto

    i.e

    div { margin:0px auto;

    }

    That will only work if two conditions have been met: The presence of a complete and proper DOCTYPE, and a width being explicitly declared on the DIV. Note that by targeting "div" by itself, EVERY DIV will inherit this styler ule, which is not what the OP wanted.
