Everything went smoothly for the most part, but the toughest challenge I faced was having to put in the tag attributes—or encoding them—perfectly. The computer is very strict. If I missed even one tiny thing, like a quotation mark, a semicolon, or a single letter, the entire attribute would not work. This meant I had to sp...
