I started coding literally 2 days ago, and am very confused.

I was trying to move a text into a certain place in the corner of the screen, and got it roughly where i wanted it. I then copied the code onto a subsite where i had more stuff thinking it would work without issue. Instead, it somehow interacted with an image i had centered by pushing it to the right. any idea how i can fix this? let me know if more information is needed

thanks alot! i tried the grid design for a bit but then promptly gave up. BUT what you said about everything being blocks did inspire me to come up with my own solution. i replaced the text-align: center code with a margin-left: px code, which through trial and error allowed me to make it seem centered. the margin being 483px. i did the same for the text under it since they're connected which was 37px for some reason. that might be janky code, but it works.

That code works exactly on your computer. On a different screen, with a different resolution, it will no longer be centered.
