Need assistance with structuring a navbar - html

I recently started developing my own website and I require some help from people who are more advanced in CSS and HTML. I am struggling with navbar alignment. I want my middle part as in "beginning" "about me" and "statistics" to be exactly in the middle. "Objectives" and "contact" to the right, logo to the left. Main problem is that I can't figure out how to perfectly align everything so the distance between left and right remains the same, as well as the middle part of the navbar. And yes, I am trying to make the website responsive so it looks good on every device. My end goal is to make an awesome portfolio site that also showcases my skill a little. I also haven't used bootstrap but I included it in my code. Sorry for a long text, I am very new to this so it's hard for me to describe the problem. My code is also very messy so if anyone has time to correct/give feedback, I would really really appreciate that.

Currently I'm working in laptop so my screen isn't big. But, I made some adjustments to your code and I think it's what you want.
You just need to define the width values for everything and make sure it all works in mobile to.

Welcome to stackoverflow. Your css needs some tweaking. try this (note vertical-align and line-height):
.navbar .menu li a{
font-size: 17px;
line-height: 56px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-shadow: -1px -1px blue;
color: blueviolet;
text-decoration: initial;
padding: 5px 5px;
border-radius: 3px;
vertical-align: middle;
}

I am not entirely clear what you asking for but to create a truly centered Navbar, with variable-length left and right-aligned items, CSS Flexbox can be used. My Codepen implementation (of the original idea from Keep the middle item centered when side items have different widths) could be modified for a Navbar: https://codepen.io/sam-miller-the-flexboxer/pen/OJQoGGq?editors=1100
The centerline class and div add a central divider to check the alignment of the center div in this example.
CSS:
.centerline {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 50%;
width: 10px;
height: 100%;
background: black;
transform: translateX(-50%);
opacity: 0.5;
z-index: 1
}
.parent {
display: flex;
}
.left,
.right {
background-color: red;
flex: 1 1 0%;
overflow: auto;
}
.right {
text-align: right;
}
.center {
background-color: green;
}
Html:
<div class="centerline"></div>
<div class="parent">
<div class="left">
short text.
</div>
<div class="center">
I'm in the center.
</div>
<div class="right">
Very loooooooong text.
</div>
</div>

How do I align images inside of a container that contains a paragraph?

I have put the image inside of the paragraph tag itself and floated it right, however it moves it to the right but underlaps the container edge.
I have taken it out of the paragraph section as well and it still does the same. I have created containers as well for them. I want the image in the container with the paragraph. I have attached an image of the issue I am having as well as my css.

How do I fix navbar hover effect without breaking the animation?

Long story short: Is it possible to make the hover effect appear inside the animation box without going out of border? Right now it's because of the .menu li having a display: flex. Without it, animation breaks. I am pretty sure I'm doing something wrong but I haven't been able to figure it out. I'm a newbie so any help is appreciated. Code attached. Thanks in advance!

Element widths not aligning themselves properly

I'm really struggling here trying to figure out what is going on. I have an HTML with a header, a sidebar, and a central content page.
The sidebar and central content are in the same div, which also acts as their clearfix. I floated the sidebar to the left and the content to the right, but instead of aligning themselves to each other neatly, the content div falls down.

I am especially concerned because the box sizing is set to border box, and the display is inline block. The sidebar has 25% width whereas the main content has 75%, yet it seems that the margins and padding are being added to their dimensions rather than being included in the % calculation.
I Dont know why you using floats now, i attached a same with small flexbox layout. hope it helps.

Better to use flex layout, it is going to be responsive and never creates problems.
CSS:
* {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
body {
margin: auto;
width: 96vw;
background-color: #eae0ff;
}
main {
width: 70%;
margin: auto;
}
.clearfix {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-direction: row;
margin: 0 20px;
}
header {
margin: 15px 10px 20px 10px;
}
.sidebar {
width: 25%;
background-color: #ccccff;
}
.centerContent {
border: 3px solid #73ad21;
}
li {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
code {
font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;
color: #43892a;
background-color: #000;
display: block;
}
I think you have just started learning HTML , CSS.
So whenever you give margins and padding (especially left and right) count each pixels else you'll face such problems like you are facing now.
In future you will learn grid and flexbox in css.
When you use both (grid & flexbox) then I bet you will never use float property.
As you are beginner, you can easily understand my solution -
So in your css you have to remove -
main{
display:inline-block;
}
and add this -
.centerContent {
display: inline-block;
width: 70%; // play by changing the width.
margin: auto;
padding-left: 20px;
border: 3px solid #73ad21;
float: right; // float : left; will also work
}
The margin are not included in the width for the box-sizing: border-box butpaddings and borders are included.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing
So the margin remains external to side bar and the second content is moving down. You can remove margin to move the content back.

Trying to create fixed transparent menu but want h1 to be centered for responsive design and .intro to be moved down without making a gap

I am trying to create a fixed nav. For the most part, it works. But I want to center the h1 for responsive design. I could just push it away from the burger menu but then it wouldn't be responsive and bang in the middle.
Also I would like to push the .intro paragraph down away from the top. But every time I do a margin gap appears at the top, and I can't for the life of me remember how to get rid of this.
Thank you to anyone who takes a look. Means a lot! Hopefully one day I can repay the favor!
Below is my HTML and CSS. I also used a standard normalize.css, and some Js but I don't think you will need that. If you do, let me know:

Footer is not styling in CSS

I'm making a page layout and I can't apply styles only to the footer for some reason, I've reviewed the code and did find anything wrong (But i'm sure there bc its not working -_-) I've tried rewriting the code and still not working.

Remove the double back slashes from your css comments. Proper css comment syntax looks like this:
/* comment */
