   Centering should be done in style.css of your theme. Add text-align: center; to body
   

   body {
   background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
   color:#000000;
   font-family:arial;
   font-size:11px;
   line-height:14px;
   text-align: center;
   }

   Then add text-align: left; to .main div
   

   .main {
   margin:auto;
   width:100%;
   text-align: left;
   }

   You might want to change width to say 960px more or less. Otherwise, there's nothing to center at all since .main div is 100% of body.

   Hi mercime,
   Thank you but it isn't working. It makes all text align in center and moves my header to the right. Still need help please.

   Hi Sebastianwp,

   Try adding the following to the end of your theme's CSS file:

   .main, .content, #footer{
     width:1200px;
     margin:auto;
   }

   Hopefully that should center everything.
