How do I adjust a specific line of text on the screen?

On a webpage im creating, the copyright logo sits in the middle left hand side of the screen. Im trying to adjust it to move to the bottom center of the screen. How do I do this?

Best to see your code in order to fully understand what you want. I'm doing the same lesson as you at the moment.

I'm assuming you can just use the following:

footer {
  text-align: center;
}

alternatively.. you can go to the HTML tab and use the following code:

/* for the copywrite line text ONLY */
<p align=center>&copy; 2016 Your Name.</p>

This is my css code. For some reason the p element at the bottom of the code is not sitting at the bottom left corner of the page, the very bottom of the page. I'm not trying to align it right, center, or left, im trying to put it in a specific area on the webpage. What commands could help me do this?

h1{
    text-align: center;
    color: red;
    background: black;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

h2{

    text-align: center;
    color: blue;
    background: black;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

nav {
    position: absolute;
    top: -9px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-decoration: none;

}

a { 
    color: green;
    text-decoration: none;
}

p {
    color:blue;

}

You could put a <div> around it and center it with margin:auto !
