I just did this.
.first .container {
display: flex;
}

.first-item {
text-align: center;
}
.first .container {
display: flex;
}

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

Grid approach.
.first .container {
display: grid;
grid-template-colums: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(200px, 1fr));
}
.first .container {
display: grid;
grid-template-colums: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(200px, 1fr));
}

I think you might be targeting the wrong parent. Might get dizzy, but make sure you're aiming for the correct parent.

how do you get the spacing between the other sections and header and paragraph of this section? I think a row gap can do the header and paragraph but idk about the others if thats padding or margin

.first .container {
background-color: #e0dede;
display: flex;
padding: 3rem;
justify-content: between;
gap: 1em;
}

.first-item {
text-align: center;
padding: 1em;
}
.first .container {
background-color: #e0dede;
display: flex;
padding: 3rem;
justify-content: between;
gap: 1em;
}

.first-item {
text-align: center;
padding: 1em;
}

defeated again by padding and margins
Myndi
Myndi2y ago
Padding on the container to push the child inside, and some padding on the child for consistency, but could be just playing around for the right values.
MD

indeed I did the first version using flex only I wanted to see how well grid does with it any tips on getting the margin and padding right? like any visual tool that could help besides just dev tools?
Myndi
Myndi2y ago
Just eye, try different values. 0.5em > 0.75em > 1em > etc. It's pretty common to use certain padding/margin values.

I know kevin suggests doing outlines with borders
Myndi
Myndi2y ago
Outlines with borders?
MD
MDOP2y ago
yeah outline: 2px solid red;
Myndi

You mean, emulate a border with outline?
MD
MDOP2y ago
