Creating a Static Mockup Edit Page

Before adding any code, we can roughly sketch out the layout of our application. In your text editor, create a new file and name it index.html. This file will contain the HTML templates of our completed application and trigger requests for the additional image, stylesheet, and JavaScript resources.

To start, add the following text to index.html:

The associated stylesheet and background image for this project should be downloaded and placed in the same directory as index.html

Open index.html in your web browser to ensure that all assets are loading correctly. You should see the TodoMVC application with three hard-coded <li> elements where the text of each todo will appear.
