The basic framework

Before you build a house you need a foundation, and before you build a website you need some HTML foundation.

No no wait...before you can paint you first have to setup your canvas...ah, you get the idea.

Let's get things rocking and rolling with the basic tags that we need to start a website.

  1. Create an html tag to contain everything (dont forget the doctype!)
  2. Create a head and a body tag
  3. In the head tag add references to the following assets:

script.js

style.css
