Creating the “lounge.css” file
You're going to create a file called “lounge.css” to contain the style rules
for all your Head First Lounge pages. To do that, create a new text file
named “lounge.css” in your text editor.

Now type, or copy and paste from your “lounge.html” file, the CSS rules
into the “lounge.css” file. Delete the rules from your “lounge.html” file
while you're at it.
Note that you should not copy the
<style>
and
</style>
tags because
the “lounge.css” file contains only CSS, not HTML.
