19. You won't be coding in this exercise. It's a demo to give you a feel for how this works. I've placed some code in the answer field below. Click Run it to run my code. Don't change any of my code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-45123781-1"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-45123781-1');
</script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-114607373-1');
</script>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles1.css">
<style>
  .amzAd {
    width: 110px;
    height: auto;
    float:left;
    margin-right: 30px;
}
.clear {
    clear:both;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
  <h2>This is the h2 heading that I wrote in the answer field.</h2>
  <p>This is the paragraph I coded. In the head section I linked to a CSS file in the same directory as my HTML file. The CSS file styles h2 headings twice the default size and paragraphs 1.5 times the default size. This is the result.</p>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

20. Now I'll ask you to link the same HTML code to the CSS file named "styles2.css". The file is in the same directory as the HTML code, so you don't need to specify a subdirectory. This CSS file specifies new fonts for the heading and the paragraph and specifies red for the heading color. You'll learn to create these styles soon. Write your link code in the space I've left for you. Don't change any of my code. When you're finished, click Run it.

</script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-114607373-1');
</script>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
<!-- Code the link to the CSS file "styles2.css" in the blank space below -->  
  
<style>
  .amzAd {
    width: 110px;
    height: auto;
    float:left;
    margin-right: 30px;
}
.clear {
    clear:both;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
  <h2>This is the h2 heading.</h2>
  <p>This is the paragraph. In the head section you linked to a CSS file in the same directory as my HTML file. This is the result.</p>
