Moving a class element in CSS

Hi all, sorry for this question.....Im clearly being dumb! how would I go about moving some text on my page thats been assigned a class, but sort of goes above the H1 heading on the page. So it has its own class and I can change things like color in the CSS etc...but I cant move its position on the page. I want to make it nearer to the H1 heading, as in close the gap between the two. Ive tried adding margins and padding to the class in CSS but nothing changes its position?

thanks in advance

Stephanie

Please show we your code. I'm not sure what you want exactly.

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

As a generic suggestion, you might need to reduce or remove the existing margins on both your added element and on the h1 you want to move it nearer to.

If that doesn't resolve it, post your actual code as Adam suggested to allow a more specific answer.
