can't center custom modules - horizontal bar.. Options

[reillyx]

If you don't mind me asking..

At my xanga, I have my header images centered, but I think because of that horizontal bar at the bottom of my page, the modules and entry-area won't center. Could anyone help?

The code I'm using is:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type=text/css><br />/* remove regular modules */<br />texttable.left, td.mainleft, table.left, table.navigation, table.search{display:none}<br />table.blogbody tr td {width:0px; padding: 0px;}<br /><br />/* edit to your liking */<br />table.module { border: 1px solid #5A5E70; width:200px; background-color: #E8DFD7; }<br />table.module th { background-color: #BFA891;font: bold 14px terminal; text-transform: uppercase;color: #9A4943; border: none; }<br />table.module td {color: #333333; text-align: left; border: none; background-image: none; }<br /></style><br /><br /><!-- add this below all the CSS --><br /><br /><table border=0 width="660"><tr><td valign="top" width="200"><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" class="module"><tr><th valign="top" align="right" class="module"><b>..GIRL</b></th></tr><tr><td valign="top" class="module"> <p><br />My name is Reilly {Hope} and I was born on April 28th {1990}.

And I think that the following code may have something to do with the problem, though it may not. It's what I used to change all the colors and whatnot:

Thanks for the code, but I guess the real problem is that I can't find, in any code I currently have, what is determining the width of my entries and if I can change it..

General page settings doesn't work,

and neither does this part of the second code I posted:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br />table.navigation, table.main, table.footer {<br />/* the width of your blog with modules */<br />width: 450px;<br />}<br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

And neither is this

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><table border=0 width="660"><tr><td valign="top" width="200"><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

or this (both from the first code).

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><td width="500" valign="top" align="left"><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->
