CSS Styling Code Along

Objectives

Introduction

In this code along exercise we will be adding style to our pages by linking an external CSS file. If you open this lab on the in-browser Learn IDE, all the files you need for following along will be available, and will automatically clone down. However, if you were following along using a personal exceptional-realty repository in the previous HTML lessons, you can continue from where we left off by running the following in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/<your_username_here>/exceptional-realty
cd exceptional-realty
