And you can add some to move something down (if you don't mind blank space). Examples:
.move-up {
margin-top: 0;
padding-top: 0;
}
.move-down {
margin-top: 30px;
}

231,248 PointsCentering can often be done with "auto" margins. And for exact placement, CSS provides absolute positioning and transforms, which can be used individually or in combination. Do a bit of research on those, and show your code if you need help with a specific situation.

231,248 PointsAs I said, if you need help, show your code (with Markdown formatting to preserve the appearance), or share the entire workspace by making a snapshot and posting the link to it.

10,338 PointsThe instructor on the videos said to not copy only but create websites and learning like that will help alot which is what im doing so i cant use markdown formatting or snapshot because im coding inside visual studio code...
Steven Parker
231,248 PointsMarkdown is mostly just pasting your code between two lines that each contain just three "backticks" 
It does not matter where the code you paste in comes from, it can be from the Visual Studio screen.
To use the snapshot you would first need to copy/paste your project into a new workspace. Then, it's just clicking on the little "camera" icon on your workspace page, and it will give you a link you can post here.

231,248 PointsAhh. So margins don't have a "center" value. The "auto" value will center them but only on a block element (spans are not), and only when the element has an explicit width. But you can do all those things in the CSS:
.title {
display: block;
width: fit-content;
margin: auto;
/* other settings ... */
But we seem to have wandered off from the original question, has it been answered?

10,338 Pointsthank you for your answer it did work! the title is at the center of the picture, i'm not sure how you did this and i dont understand your technical answer, (i'm not at that level of learning yet)
p.s your answer doesnt have a best answer to click on underneath your response..
Steven Parker
231,248 PointsThe choice should be after the first part of the answer, next to "add comment" (and before any of the comments).

10,338 PointsI do need to move a title up and across to the center aswell. i have a picture underneath but im exhausted using padding margins etc CSS3 doesnt seem to support exact movements of titles.
