No gap between tribute-link and rest of text

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
There’s no gap between the tribute-link and the rest of the text at the bottom of the page.
I used a flex wrapper to keep the link in the centre but not sure how to fix the lack of a gap.

      <p>Here's a timeline of Dr Norman Borlaug's life:</p>

      <ul class="timeline">

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1933</strong> - Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of

          Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the "National

          Youth Administration"

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1935</strong> - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the

          Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how

          food changed them", he said. "All of this left scars on me."

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1938</strong> - Marries wife of 69 years Margret Gibson. Gets laid off due to

          budget cuts. Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he returns to school

          study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding pest-resistent

          plants.

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1941</strong> - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl Harbor

          attack, but is rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to work

          on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria, disinfectants, and other

          applied science.

        </li>

        <br>

        <li><strong>1942</strong> - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology</li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1944</strong> - Rejects a 100% salary increase from Dupont, leaves behind his

          pregnant wife, and flies to Mexico to head a new plant pathology

          program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds 6,000 different

          strains of disease resistent wheat - including different varieties

          for each major climate on Earth.

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1945</strong> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling

          wheat yields

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1953</strong> - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat with a

          high-yeidling American breed, creating a strain that responds well

          to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1962</strong> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to

          the Indian subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due

          to a rapidly expanding population

        </li>

        <br>

        <li><strong>1970</strong> - receives the Nobel Peace Prize</li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1983</strong> - helps seven African countries dramatically increase their

          maize and sorghum yields

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>1984</strong> - becomes a distinguished professor at Texas A&M University

        </li>

        <br>

        <li>

          <strong>2005</strong> - states "we will have to double the world food supply by

          2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the only way we

          can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says that GM

          crops are not inherently dangerous because "we've been genetically

          modifying plants and animals for a long time. Long before we called

          it science, people were selecting the best breeds."

        </li>

        <br>

        <li><strong>2009</strong> - dies at the age of 95.</li>

Challenge: Build a Tribute Page

Link to the challenge:

Paragraphs don’t make good flex containers. Align the text with another method or center the paragraph within the page instead.

Deleted my post for the time being, until I get clarification from the mods.
All for helping etc, but don’t want to be encroaching on giving code answers no matter how small especially on challenges.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

Hmmm good point, being a challenge probably not the best idea.

Appreciate the help! It gave me the idea to use a separate id for the text and the link.

Thank you. I checked the FCC version and they used a h3 tag instead. Seems to have worked!
