:point_right: This challenge is simply for scripting practice.

It's not meant to suggest this is necessarily the best way to achieve the result.

In fact, best practice would generally be to place content directly in the HTML, and use JavaScript to give the page functionality. And since this appears to be content, it would actually make sense to add it to the HTML.
