title: Centered or not centered?
body: <p>I am not a designer but I am trying to learn some basic principles of web-design. A basic question I am wondering about is whether or not to center a page's content on the screen. Maybe you are familiar with <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/" rel="nofollow">A List Apart</a>. They provide a good number of articles on web-design. What strikes me as odd is their own design. The whole page is to the left of my 24 inch screen (about 11 inch to the right is completely blank). What are the pros and cons of centered vs not centered?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
