                    <p><strong>Please read this first!</strong></p>
                    <p>This tool generates a layout that is responsive, which means it looks great on phones! Use dropdowns above to customize your layout's general features. Click the button to generate your HTML and CSS, and paste it into a file on Neocities.</p>
                    <p>Then you can replace all of the text with your own. For more customization, the CSS code has comments to explain what each part changes. Please read through the code - even if you have no idea what it means.</p>
                    <p>If you're feeling up for a challenge, I put together <a href="https://learn.sadgrl.online/understanding-tweaking-my-layout-maker/" target="_blank">a guide</a> which goes over the structure of how this layout is built, along with some specific tips on how to edit it in certain ways.</p>
                    <p>Check the links in the sidebar for more resources to build your own website!</p>

    and then link it! Many fonts have separate files for each style
    (bold, italic, etc. T_T) which is why there are so many!
