How to align this text to be centered within my CSS grid?-CodePudding

I'm fairly new to coding and to Stack Overflow. I couldn't find this answer, so bear with me if it's frequently answered or something.

I'm trying to recreate FreeCodeCamp's Product Landing Page as a personal project. (I understand they want you to do your own thing, but I'm starting with a recreation before I do that so that I may get more of an understanding of HTML and CSS before I try designing my own thing.)

For the content below the Get Started button and above the video, I used a grid to try to align them properly. However, I'm having trouble aligning the text (the heads and paragraphs) vertically in their rows. How may I go about doing this? They seem to be sitting at the "bottom" of their rows.

HTML code:

body {
    font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
    background-color: #ececec;
}

#top {
    margin-top: 100px;
}

#top h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    font-weight: 600;
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

#nav-bar {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    height: 80px;
    background-color: #ececec;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
    top: 0;
}

#header-img {
    height: 35px;
    left: 0;
    margin-left: 20px;
}

#top {
    text-align: center;
}

#navbar li {
    display: inline;
    right: 0;
}

#navlinks {
    display: flex;
    list-style-type: none;
}

#navlinks li {
    padding: 5px;
    text-align: center;
    margin-right: 50px;
}

#submit {
    width: 150px;
    height: 30px;
    margin-top: 15px;
    font-weight: 900;
    font-size: 1em;
    background-color: #f3c807;
    border: none;
}

#submit:hover {
    background-color: orange;
    transition: background-color 1s;
    cursor: pointer;
}


#email {
    height: 23px;
    padding-left: 7px;
    width: 275px;
}

i.fa, i.fas {
    color: rgb(255, 136, 0);
    text-align: center;
}

#grid {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 100px auto;
    grid-template-rows: 50px 50px 50px;
    grid-column-gap: 50px;
    grid-row-gap: 80px;
    margin-left: 50px;
    align-content: center;
    margin-top: 100px;
}

.icon {
    text-align: center;
}

.middlecontent h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

.middlecontent p {
    margin-top: 0;
}

Thank you very much for any insight/help.

I figured it out, and I figured I would leave this up for anyone else who had the same question. Mods, feel free to delete if this is against this community's rules, of course.

What I did was I made the div surrounding the h1 and p tags into a flexbox

.middlecontent {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
}

And that seemed to work. It was really as simple as that (because of course it was). Haha

body {
    font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
    background-color: #ececec;
}

h1 {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

p {
    margin-top: 0;
}

#top {
    margin-top: 100px;
}

#top h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    font-weight: 600;
    margin-bottom: 0;

#nav-bar {

    top: 0;
}

CodePudding user response：

According to my experience, If we want to align items(vertically or horizontally) in a grid we can use flex property inside that child element. The following example will help to get an idea.

To vertically align:

align-items:{position}

To horizontally align:

justify-content:{position}

 body{
        color: #ffff;
    }
    .content{
        display: grid;
        grid-gap: 10px;
        max-width: 960px;
        margin: auto;
        text-align: center;
        font-weight: bold;
        font-size: 50px;
        font-family: sans-serif;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(3,1fr);
        grid-auto-rows:200px;
    }

    .content div{
        background: gray;
        padding: 30px;
    }

    .content div:nth-child(even){
        background: green;
    }
    
    .one{
      display:flex;
      align-items: start;
      justify-content: start;
    }
    
    .two{
      display:flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
    }
    
    .three{
      display:flex;
      align-items: end;
      justify-content: end;
    }
    
    .four{
      display:flex;
      align-items: start;
      justify-content: center;
    }
    
    .five{
      display:flex;
      align-items: end;
      justify-content: center;
    }
    
    .six{
      display:flex;
      align-items: start;
      justify-content: end;
    }
