nav is a component not text :) text-align: center can be applied to tags
containing text eg p, h1-6
narrow the pill list to the width you want it to be, say 600px, then margin
left & right auto
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" style="width: 600px; margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
</ul>
by default the nav will expand to the full available width
