In my page I want it so that when you resize the page past the point of the pictures, that the pictures will go into another row, all the way so each picture has it's own row. And then potentially I won't need any media queries. But unfortunaltely I can't find a way to center. I have tried everything I can think of, aside of making hundreds of media queries with different positioning. I can't make it a block because then it won't go into rows, I have tried margin: 0 auto;. I have tried changing the padding, I have even tried using the html align="center". Nothing is working. Here is the website http://spencedesign.netau.net/singaporehome.html Also I have a minor issue, sorry to croud this with two questions. But when it is in it's mobile state, there is no 10px padding at the bottom, and the singapore title is on the left side rather than floating. Here is my code

Thanks!
Ive checked your link and simply adding text-align:center; to your container will make the uls centered (because you have them as inline elements)
#container
{
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
Instead of floating those items, you should instead ensure that the items use display: inline-block. Then you can set text-align: center on the parent element.
Here is a testcase that shows the effect http://oksushi.com/test/centered-tabs/

So far, I have managed to get my footer to always stick to the bottom, however, I have been struggling to get the content or images on my webpage to push the footer down. I have been trying absolute, fixed, relative positions for the footer but to no avail as the content in the class "container2" continues to go under the footer. It also shouldn't be sticky footer similar to the nav bar but like a natural footer where it is pushed down by content.

First off, I am a bit confused why you are using the <br> tag so much, but it almost looks like you are trying to space the elements with them. You may want to use padding or margin to do that.
Lastly, I think what you are looking for is position: fixed. Try this:
footer {
width:100%;
position: fixed; /* use fixed instead of absolute */
bottom: 0; /* set bottom to 0 */
height:300px;
font-size: 15px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:center;
background-color:black;
border-width: 10px;
color: white;
}
You have several problems in your css. The main problem for your content not to appear is that you're using overflow: hidden; in container2 and height: 1000px; this causes everything that exceeds 1000px won't be show. Try removing overflow: hidden or overflow: x-scroll.
This is the documentation for the overflow property, I suggest you read it for a better understanding of your problem. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow
There are some things that you should change 1. you are using absolute position outside relative 2. using absolute values for hight is not good practice 3. is always better use padding and margin to make space ect. Keep fixed position only for header nav and comment out all fixed hight values(px)and absolute and relative positioning to start with. Absolute position should be inside relative if there is not special reason not to do that. To get out from main problem start with footer and container2. But there is lot more to fix.
You need set a min-height for html, body {min-height: 100vh;}
Set footer as position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0;
Hopefully this will help you.
newbie to HTML & CSS here with only 2 weeks learning under my belt. I'm trying to replicate the Google web page and although I have managed to center the "Google" logo and the searchbar underneath it, i've done it using margin-top and margin-left properties. I did try margin: 0 auto; with some other properties but could not get anything to work. The times when I did manage to center the logo using different properties, it wasn't fully central on the page. Basically what i'm saying is that the way i've done it works, but I know it isn't the most efficient way of making these two elements central on the page and it certainly doesn't represent a responsive webpage.
Would anyone mind having a look at the code i've pasted below and offer advice on the best way to go about this? I've included the whole HTML and CSS code, incase anyone wishes to load the site in Notepad etc. Many thanks in advance!

To center an image you can use text-align:center; on the parent element. For the searchbar you can use margin:0 auto; as long as the search bar has a defined width:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div.nav li {
display: inline-block;
font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 13px;

For the searchbar you should be using an input rather than a p(paragraph). Another tip is that instead of defining margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, margin-left, you can use the shorthand margin. The first value is the top margin, next is right margin, then bottom, then left.
If you want the top/bottom and right/left margins to be the same, respectively, you can define 2 values(first being top and bottom and second being right and left). If you want to define a different top and bottom margin but use the same margin for left/right you can define 3 values(first being top, second being right/left and third being bottom).
For example:
margin-top:20px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:50px;
can be written as
margin:20px 50px;
Or the following:
margin-top:50px;
margin-right:100px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:100px;
can be written as:
margin:50px 100px 20px;
Same thing goes for padding.
you can't use pixels to set margin!
you have to set margin of the main class to 50% of page height and width like this:
(to resolve problems change percent of size and margin to fit 100%)

Problem #1: Text in footer disappeared. Just randomly noticed while I was busy aligning other elements that the text in my footer was gone.
http://i.imgur.com/WyHf37d.png
Problem #2: Paragraph won't wrap. If I hadn't put display: inline the text would disappear completely.
Problem #3: Images float on top of my nav bar. When I scroll down, the images pass on top of the bar and it looks weird.
Feel free to correct my coding in general. I am a noob. Thanks.

I've removed
white-space:nowrap;
from
body #title-slogan h1, p
body #title-slogan-hungry h1, p
It should look like this now:
body #title-slogan h1, p {
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: -21px;
}
body #title-slogan-hungry h1 {
text-indent: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: -194px;
padding: 0;
Oh, and you've forgotten opening a <body> tag before header starts.
I just have a quick question about my website. I have a huge whitespace between my footer and the end of my background image, about 500 or so pixels. I can't seem to find the problem and any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob

When you use position: relative; the browser thinks, "Ok, I'm going to keep the element's technical location the same, but I'm going to make it appear to be in a different spot." You have the following CSS on your .des element:
.des {
position: relative;
bottom: 1564px;
}
This says, "Keep .des there, but make it appear 1564 pixels higher (further away from the original bottom)". This results in a blank space, which is the height of the element, showing up where the element technically still is, even though it appears elsewhere.
You also have the following CSS on your #footer element:
#footer {
position: relative;
bottom: -100px;
}
This makes it appear 100px lower on the page, but keeps the original spot there, and now blank.
Unless I'm mistaken, these two gaps combine for a whopping 1038px of blank space on your page. The solution? You're probably looking for position: absolute;, which doesn't keep the original spot for the element. In fact, I think that if you changed the positioning part of the CSS on .des to be
.des {
position: absolute;
top: 260px;
}
or something close to that, it would get rid of most of the gap, minus the 100px on #footer. Here's a JSFiddle, if you'd care to have a look.
The height of your background image in your CSS is set to height: 1700px; but the background image that you link to is only 1200px high. That would seem to account for the 500px difference
I'm very new to all of this and am trying to build this website, but the main image on the page is not centering. I've tried all sorts of centering things but they don't work. Also, the width percentage is ignored too.
I've readjusted margin/padding to 0. don't know what it could be.
css for the picture:
#pictures img{
width:"70%";
margin: 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 80px;
padding-top: 20px;
}
and the html div that has to do with it:
<div id="pictures">
<img src="img/homepage.png" alt="HomePage"></div>

Put display: block; on it. By default, images are inline.
To center inline —default for image— or inline-block elements, just center it as text. This means, you will need to use text-algin on the parent element:
div#pictures {
text-align: center;
}
The other solution is the one from #One Trick Pony, and display the image as a block element and just then apply the automatic margin.
#pictures img{
display:block;
}
Add this code then i will be centered
i know this is an old post, but wanted to share how i solved the same problem.
My image was inheriting a float:left from a parent class. By setting float:none I was able to make margin:0 auto and display: block work properly. Hope it may help someone in the future.
You have two options:
Remove img from #pictures and then put the image inside that div.
Add the #pictures to the image Tag in html (inline style).
You might remove the display tag in #pictures.
Good luck with that.
