Why is just about everything centered on the web?

Why not aligned left, like books and magazines are? In western countries people read from the left, it is natural that the human focus travels to the left at first.

chop chop, I know you aren't used to intellectually stimulating threads on GFY, but try for once. I really want to know.

It is because so many people use different resolutions. So it is best to have the site centered so it changes size to fit your resolution. For example, if a site is left aligned and you have your resolution set high, there will be a ton of empty space on the right. Lots of sites were this way before until they caught on.

Stands out more? Draws attention?

Your question really stimulated my intellect.... Here's what I came up with after hours of hard thinking....
..its for design purposes... sometimes.. it looks better when its aligned in the center... other times.. it look better aligned on the left.... Alot of sites are aligned on the left...

What he said.

And this didn't stimulate anything. Just because you haven't figured out why a wheel is round, doesn't make us all intellectually challenged.

personally, I prefer to use a margin, to get the text away from the corners of the wind*ows, and then just let it expand freely to the right. Or I use tables that are restricted in size.
