For this assignment, you will be making two files, index.html and styles.css for your website. Inline styles (styles within html) are not allowed and will result in point deduction.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
…
<link rel=“stylesheet” href=“style.css”>
<script src=“https://tidepod.fun/hw1_helper.js” async></script>
</head>
<body>
…
</body>
</html>
