-- [ ] Create a forked copy of this project.
-- [ ] Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Lambda's by mistake!).

 - [ ] Run `npm install` to download the dependencies listed in the `package.json` file.
 - [ ] Run `npm start` to compile the project and serve it.

 - Please **do not move or rename existing files** or folders.
 - Careful adding your script tag in Step 0: the code inside `index.js` needs the DOM to be fully built before executing.
 - Careful if you choose to install Axios using another script tag: the order in which script tags execute is important.

+- If your development server stops "auto reloading", manually kill it with `CTRL+C` and restart it.
 - Do not change the `package.json` file except to install libraries with NPM (Axios is _already_ in the `package.json`).
 - In your solution, it is essential that you follow best practices and produce clean and professional results.
 - Schedule time to review, refine, and polish your work, including spell-checking and grammar-checking.
 - It is better to submit a challenge that meets MVP than one that attempts too much and does not.

 ## Submission format
 
-There are two possible ways to submit this project to Canvas. Lambda Staff will let you know which one to use:
-
-1. Submitting a pull request to merge `<firstName-lastName>` branch into `main`.
-2. Setting up your fork on Github to submit via Codegrade, pushing commits to your `<firstName-lastName>` branch.
+- [ ] Submit via Codegrade by committing and pushing any new changes.
+- [ ] Create a pull request to merge `<firstName-lastName>` branch into `main`.
+- [ ] Please don't merge your own pull request and make sure **you are on your own repo**.
+- [ ] Check Codegrade for automated feedback.
+- [ ] Check Codegrade in the days following the Sprint Challenge for reviewer feedback.
+- [ ] Any changes pushed after the deadline will not receive any feedback.
