1. In your page’s HTML, make sure to include following elements:
§ <img> : On your home page include your profile picture and float it to the left. (in the middle part where you see Welcome heading)
§ <meta> for description of your web page
§ <meta> for the keywords associated with your page
§ favorites icon ("favicon")
2. Use Bootstrap for creating the layout given in below picture. In the header section, you will have menu items Home, About, Projects and Contact. (You can omit Logo and Login)
3. For style of your page, use an external css file (filename: index.css) and define your style sheet rules within that file.
