How to center this text in wordpress PHP file?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to center the text on the bottom of my blog. 
Site Admin
Log out
WP
These three elements above are aligned left and looks really bad, looks like the problem is on my footer.php, a container called footermenu, but I can't figure out where I need to plug in the code to center it. Here is the code for the footer:
<?php
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ) ) {
?>
<div id="footer">
<div id="footerspan" >
<div class="container_12">
<div class="grid_8" >
<ul class="widget">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('footer-widget-area');?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="grid_4" >
<h3><?php _e('Meta', 'mt-white');?></h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_register();?>
<li>
<?php wp_loginout();?>
</li>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url(__('http://wordpress.org/', 'mt-white'));?>" title="<?php _e('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.', 'mt-white');?>"><abbr title="WordPress">WP</abbr></a>
</li>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php } else {?>
<ul id="footermenu">
<?php wp_register();?>
<li>
<?php wp_loginout();?>
</li>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url(__('http://wordpress.org/', 'mt-white'));?>" title="<?php _e('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.', 'mt-white');?>"><abbr title="WordPress">WP</abbr></a>
</li>
<?php wp_meta();?>
</ul>
<?php }?>
<?php wp_footer();?>
</body>
</html>
Thank you for your help.
