Hello I have already asked a similar question but I am still having trouble. Can someone give me an example of how to lay out the HTML code and CSS code to insert an image anywhere on a page. Right now I just seem to be able to insert the image at the top of the page pushing the rest of the text down or place the image at the bottom of the page but I cannot seem to place it anywhere on the page. Please can someone give me a sample code and how I can edit it to move it around the page. Thanks in advance

One of the reason is that the view is always changing. Your website can be viewed on a 1920*1080 wide screen personal computer, or a 360*640 Galaxy S5 mobile device and anywhere in between.
Imagine if you were trying to print an ad... Your question is a bit like asking: How can I place a picture on this ad that will look good on fliers, tv commercials, movie screens billboards, etc...?
Did you try taking one of the "How to build a website" courses?

I just dont understand how I can only place the image a few inches below the text. I have attached the HTML5 code and CSS code below. I just cant make the image any close to the text as it already which is whats giving me problems. Looking at my code am I at least in the right direction? Thanks HTML 5 <img src="beginnerimage.jpg" alt=""> </div> CSS img { max-width: 50%; margin:0px; margin-top: 20px; }
