Let’s do something from scratch
1. Create a new folder called EAD on your workspace
2. Download the image on this file: http://tinyurl.com/btoxujl(make sure it goes inside a folder called images)
3. Download the index.html file (or copy and paste the codeon a new index.html file you create)
4. Create an external css file (called style.css) on your editor (mine is Aptana) save them under EAD folder
5. By now you should have inside your EAD folder:- index.html (with some code on it)- style.css (without any code on it)- images folder with 1 image
