Default Noob question, Centering a wheel

Hi, (try not to laugh)

I recently took off the rear wheel of my bike and when i put it back on i noticed that it was off to one side slightly and that one of the break pads was almost touching the rim.

how would i go about re-ceneralising the wheel?

thanks, Mad.

Oh i have quick release wheels (if this helps)

ahh, loosen the wheel, wiggle it in the frame a bit and push down on the frame then do up the QR, if its not centered the wheel needs re-dishing or the frames bent or if its just not centered with the brake pads the spring on one side needs adjusting.
