You’re here to learn how to apply CSS to your xHTML file, not to learn how to create a xHTML file, so you must have known about xHTML basic already (I suppose that). This question is to confirm you REALLY know it

<!– Site navigation menu –>

<h1>My first styled page</h1>
<p>Welcome to my styled page!
<p>It lacks images, but at least it has style.
And it has links, even if they don’t go
anywhere…
<p>There should be more here, but I don’t know
what yet.
