I’d like to position something relatively absolutely, e.g. taking it out of the document flow and adjusting its position a few pixels. What’s a neat way to do this?

    Just use margin to shift the absolutely positioned element.

    HTML:

    <p>Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet.</p>
<p class="move">Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet.</p>

    CSS:

    p.move { color:red; position:absolute; margin:5px 0 0 5px; }
