Hello, Slick (great name for a self-described newbie ;-) )
Please don't top-post. It's confusing. I've fixed it for you this time.

Should be <title>Centered List</title>

Newbie questions should be easy to help solve. But you don't seem to
have any lists at the URL you provided, and you don't have any
clear:both at the URL you provided, and I don't see any attempt to
specify a background at the URL you provided. (And what other post might
you be talking about?) So, do you have another URL? (Or should we stop
trying to help? You don't sound happy yet.)
BTW, what *is* at the URL you provided contains this rule:
font-family: "Comic Sans MS" "Veranda" sans-serif;
1) font alternatives are supposed to be comma-separated; and
2) By "Veranda", do you mean "Verdana"?
3) The use of Verdana isn't always your best choice, but for now, it's
not your biggest problem. (But pay attention over time to discussions
about font choices, so you can decide for yourself).
