Hey Steffany! There are no dumb questions :)

So, we are searching for the text "curationStatus" in HTML. That's basically the language that displays the webpage. In this case, your article.

Luckily, your browser is able to display the HTML! For me, I am a PC user and use Chrome browser, but if you are a Mac user and use Safari, the same principle applies.

To get to the HTML, you need to:

1.) Go to the article you want to peak into

2.) Right click on the article

3.) You should see a couple options to choose from, one of which is "View page source" (from Chrome, shortcut is Ctrl + U). Click that!

4.) What should popup is the HTML of the page. This is the image that I showed on the article...apologies if I wasn't clear on that.

5.) At the point, you should be able to search for the term "curationStatus"

Yeah, it's quite a lot to go through since it is especiall complicated for people who haven't used HTML before, but I hope this helps.

Let me know if you have any more questions! :)

Thanks Ben, I am using Chrome on Windows os and able to get the html code up no problem, the only search bar I can see is bottom left and seems to just search the pc as opposed the the html text/that is where I am having trouble. Thanks though, hope to figure it out eventually! :-)
