When the text "About Me - Books Challenge - Resume" does not stay in front and move relative to scrolling on your Webflow site, it means that the text is not set to a fixed position. By default, elements in Webflow have a relative position, which means they scroll along with the rest of the content on the page. To make the text stay in front and move relative to scrolling, you can follow these steps:

Select the text element: Go to the Webflow Designer and click on the text element that you want to stay in front and move with scrolling.
Change the positioning: In the sidebar panel, click on the Position tab. By default, the position will be set to Relative. Change it to Fixed.
Adjust the position: Once you change the position to Fixed, you will see Top, Right, Bottom, and Left fields. These fields allow you to adjust the position of the text element on the page. You can use this to position the text element wherever you want it to be.
Preview and adjust: After making these changes, preview your site to see how the text element behaves during scrolling. If needed, go back to the Webflow Designer and adjust the position until you achieve the desired effect.

Note: Fixed positioning of the text element means it will remain in the same position on the screen irrespective of scrolling. If you want the text to move with scrolling but stay in front of other elements, you can adjust the z-index property of the text element to bring it to the front.

By following these steps, you should be able to make your text "About Me - Books Challenge - Resume" stay in front and move relative to scrolling on your Webflow site.
