  8. A <ol> of numbered instructions (4+ steps)
  9. At least one <a> tag linking to an external source
  10. At least 3 different CSS selector types (element, class, id)
  11. Background-color AND color properties used
  12. Font-family (with web-safe fallback)
  13. Padding AND margin (both, at least once each)
  14. Border on at least one element
  15. At least one class selector styled
