In playing I've found using the relative positioning working pretty good for me. Is it just a matter of personal preference what I use then?

Thanks for the article I really haven't understood negative margins.

CSS gives you a lot of options for positioning elements on a page.
As with all design issues, the "best" choice is usually a compromise,
depending on what you want to achieve.

My first choice for positioning elements is often to use margins -
including negative margins on occasion. See this CommunityMX article
for more:

Hope this helps.

Cordially,
