Exercise instructions

  • Replace the #header name with h1.title, so that these settings apply to the title instead of the header of the document.
  • Add sections for the author and date, using h4.author and h4.date to refer to each section.
  • For the author and date sections, add #708090 for the text color, Calibri for the font, and #F5F5F5 for the background color.
