My first blog. Any tips?

[Simon]

Seems to work just fine on my blogs and renders properly in IE and FF

Yes, using the old-style CENTER tags may "work" (a lot of things 'work') but it doesn't validate unless you're using an older DOCTYPE, pre HTML 4.01. Actually I think on some strict doctypes it won't even work, but you can get by on the transitional ones. If you don't care if your pages validate to your doctype, and if don't believe it has any effect on anything today and won't hurt you in the future, then you certainly should do whatever works for you.
