I've googled so much, tried a handful of standard advice but I'm really struggling and I need a master to guide me through this

This little "center" is really holding me back and its driving me crazy lol

Your code is a mess!

All the elements are positioned absolute so of course they wont center.

Getting rid of all the inline styles will help as well.

My suggestion will be to read up on how to ACTUALLY use CSS

In Google Chrome I get a message about an external protocol request and that Chrome needs to restart. You will lose a lot of potential viewers with that type of message.

I also don't like the navigation as a whole. You are missing Doc type, and crucial Meta tags as well. Still needs a lot of work.

I got that same message, huge deterrent. Regarding centering the page, put everything on the page within a table and center the content within the table. Thats not really the proper way to do it though.

May want to consider putting your CSS into a separate stylesheet.

"Regarding centering the page, put everything on the page within a table and center the content within the table. Thats not really the proper way to do it though." lol why suggest it then?

Prob cause the rest is in such a state. Why not put it in a table.
May as well make a flash splash as well.
And drop in some animated gif too.
Alternatively you could put it in a wrapper with width and margin: 0 auto;
And then remove the abs pos on the elements.
Restructure it logically.

Thats what i was thinking, its not proper but nothing else is so why not, i just was trying to be nice
Maybe an animated gif that makes the logo wig wag?

Put a width on your body and put margin: auto auto;

body {width:900px;margin:auto auto;} AND GET YOUR SELF A DOCTYPE PLEASE

Your wrap div tag has a closing element where it should be openend. Omit the / in
</div id="wrap"> on the top of the page.

I have had issues, where IE didn't center the page unless you give the body tag a text-align of center, you can then left-align the text in the table again.

Hope that helps.

Put a width on your body and put margin: auto auto;

If I remember correctly, and that is a big "if" haha, early IE versions don't like this.
