    Be advised, it is your responsibility to include comments in your HTML that point to every graded element included in your pages. When I grade your work, I will ONLY look at HTML elements that you point out with comments. In other words, I will not go looking through your HTML code trying to find graded elements myself. Point me to them, PLEASE.
