Question posted in 
I’m trying to make a simple home page based on the "Responsive Content Titles" from this git repo: https://github.com/solodev/responsive-content-tiles
I have eight tiles and I want to put them into two rows (four tiles in each row). And this is my html and css files:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Portal</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="responsive-tiles.css">
<style> h1 {text-align: center;} </style>
</head>
<body>

My goal is to have four tiles in a row but only three can be placed in a row right now. I’m new to html and css and I can’t seem to identify the part in responsive-tiles.css or other css files that are referred in the html file are responsible for this.
This is how it looks currently
Any help is appreciated!

in Bootstrap CSS, content is divisible by 12.
A 100% content contains 12 columns.
If you want 3 columns inside a row you must therefore have :
12 / 3 = 4 >>
Now, if you want 4 columns,
12 / 4 = 3 i.e.
The col-md ( medium size ), col-sm ( small size ), etc … can be useful for responsive contents
You can find more explainations on Bootstrap website
getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/layout/grid/
As I mentioned in the comments, the screen is divisible by 12. So you just divide the number of spaces you need by 12 in this case, we have 12 / 4 spaces gives us a value of 3.
And as per your follow up question you could hard code them a bit with the style command to force them to be a certain width. Perhaps 200px isn’t correct, so update to a value that works for you, but this should get you on the right track. I used the md for medium sized screen but you can adjust as needed or use a flex version if you plan on dual web and mobile deployment.
