I hope this will help newbies like me, who are weak in technical side of computer language, HTML, and syntax, etc.. I tried to make it as simple as I can. I shared my little knowledge in this platform. Pardon me for grammatical mistakes in my English language. If you really felt it useful, don't forget to UPVOTE and follow.
