While centering a div is often the focus of a lot of memes about how hard it can be, with modern CSS, we might have reached the point where we have too many ways to center a div. But, w e can actually learn a lot about how CSS works by breaking down the options that we do have, so today, we’ll see a lot of ways to do the exact same thing, but we’ll learn a ton of useful things along the way as well, and hopefully also help build up some critical thinking skills too, because centering divs isn’t the only thing in CSS where you can accomplish the same thing in different ways, but often the actual use case can dictate which is best, so we’ll talk about that as we go through it too.
