How do I put text the same width as the image ontop. Image is 976x300px

[wildguy2]

Hi, My laptop is 15 inches wide. The image is 976x300px. Its a graphics image I designed.
The problem is, I cant get the text underneath exactly the same width. The text goes too much to the right.

I put the background image with {position:absolute;left:130px;} That seemed to move it to the middle.
Tried the background-position:center. But that just kept the image to the left.
The image is more or less in the center of the screen now,

I tried p{color:gold;font-size:x-large; font-family: Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif, text-align:center; font-weight: 700;}

The text is fine, but it goes too much to the right.

Hi there wildguy2,

I would center the elements.
SEE FOR EXAMPLE;

[note, image should be display:block; to use margin: 0 auto;]

There are also some nice CSS rules for word spacing and letter spacing should you ever need to use them.
