How can I put the title/my name in the middle of my page?

Question

I just can't figure this one out. I'm using

\documentclass[margin,line,8pt]{res}

and want my title/name in the middle of the page.

What's your document class? Look up \maketitle, perhaps here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Title_Creation — Ethan Bolker, Nov 11 '14 at 17:22

Are you sure res is the best class to use? it has hardly been updated since 1989, so is mostly older than LaTeX2e.

Anyway, if I use the line you posted

\documentclass[margin,line,8pt]{res}

I get

LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
    [8pt].

as the class does not have an 8pt option, however it does have a centered option and

\documentclass[margin,centered]{res}

\begin{document}
\name{my name}
\begin{resume}

\end{resume}
\end{document}

produces

enter image description here

with the name centred.
