It would help if you posted your code, or even better, a snapshot of your workspace.

Without seeing the code, I can only give you some generic suggestions.

For a block element, give it a specific size and auto margins, and for an inline element, give it the text-align property with the value center.

.center-block {
    width: 100px;  /* set this to the size of your content */
    margin: auto;
}

.center-text {
    text-align: center;
}
