Um, because you'd designed your page that way?

It would be a simple page, say three blocks, like this:

<div id="title">About me.</div>
<div>My name is Ben. This is my site.</div>
<div>Please visit <a href="http://mum.com/">my mum's site</a>.</div>

And you could present it really quite nicely with the following very 
simple stylesheet

body {
	margin:100px;
	background: url("incredibly_foxy_bg.jpg") no-repeat;
}
div {
	[some property that defines the centering, e.g. margin:auto;]
	border: 1px solid #39f;
	padding: 20px;
	margin: 2px;
}
#title { font-size:large; }

I think that would look quite lovely.
