Animation won't center on the page.

Hello there. I ran into a little bug and I have been trying to figure it out where I went wrong. However, I can't find my mistake in my code. My animation supposed to be in the center of the page. Here is my codepen link http://codepen.io/Layee/pen/qdmjvy

Hi Abe,

I think your problem is that you are absolutely positioning the h2 with class "removeMargin", and giving the value "left: 50%".

What is happening is that your h1 and h2 block's top left corner (and not the center of your h1/h2 block) is being positioned at the 50% point.

So how do I fix it?

You can give it a different value, such as "left: 35%;", instead of "left:50%".

Personally I would not absolutely position these elements at all. One reason for that is that it won't necessarily be centered on different width screens. You can find ways of centering elements on your page in this very simple article: https://css-tricks.com/centering-css-complete-guide/

Good luck!
