Centering nested div's in a grid

I am attempting to build my first responsive website alone, I have used the fluid grid from the Smells like Bakin' example to layout my website.

I am trying to center div's with a div (3 grid_4's within 1 grid_12) I started to use margins and widths but this didn't work so well when resizing the browser, I have tried looking up code and playing around with elements like display and float but nothing I tried has worked for me so far.

I think the problem is that the grid I use floats everything left?

Any help would be great.

You will see what I mean in the 'What I do' and 'Portfolio' section of my website.

The circles are not centered because of the padding on the UL.

The lower sections are not centered because it looks like you're using 960 without using an "omega" class to remove the extra space on the final column.
