Align post title to center

I did not think about centering the title of the post till I created by forum for my blog. The title "Forum" at the left top left side of the page was making my forum look so artificial. So I actually wanted to center the title of that page and I however came to know that centering the post title will also center the page title. I think it gives better looks to my blog. It is very easy to do.

Ctrl+Alt+Del to log on

I remember, in many of the computer labs, we are  required to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to log on. What could be the reason? Why do we need to do that? Can we do the same for our own system?
