Initial code

When I took over Asterix.co.za, I wrote the following index.html...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--
Peter Zulu 20C has got back to coding in NetBeans : WATCH THIS SPACE
-->
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Peter Zulu is back on the web!</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href = "https://www.w3schools.com/">
      <img 
        src    = "/library/w3SchoolsLogo.png"
        alt    = "W3Schools"
        height = "40%"
        width  = "40%"
        >
    </a>
  </body>
</html>
