Hi there, I am building a website and I understand how to get a piece of <h1> text to appear, but I don't know how to center it. Any ideas?

If you have any more questions, create a codepen so we can see what you are working with

Umm ... position:center I don't think that CSS property exists. Or did I misunderstand something?
Marcus Tisäter

Do you have a link? Or some code to show that? Are you thinking of background-position: center by chance.
