For some reason I do not get the alert pop-up.
I have tried it by both including the preview.js file, and with just the script.js.

alert("Hey, you're back for more?");

not these ”
Also, script loading should normally not be done in the "head" area. "Best practice" is to place "script" tags as the last thing inside the "body".
