Tell us what’s happening:
My problem is that the footer text is lying at the very bottom of the screen (picture attached). I tried giving it a margin-bottom with different values but nothing happened. If I give it a padding-bottom of even 1px it looks weird as it adds a lot of space both above and below the text. I don’t understand why this is happening. Is there something I can try to fix it? Also, if you notice something else that shouldn’t be the way it, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it a lot! ![]()
