 1. Open the `index.html` file in your browser and you should see a basic badge with the CodeYourFuture Codewars rank. The badge is a web component that is defined in the `codewars-badge.js` file.
 
-The badge is imported as a js module in the `index.html` file. This module defines a new HTML element called `<codewars-badge>`, which can be used just like any other HTML element. (This is basically how all HTML elements are defined, it's just that the browser defines the default ones for us.)
+Find the js module in the `index.html` file that links `codewars-badge.js`. This module defines a new HTML element called `<codewars-badge>`, which you can now use _just like any other HTML element_. (This is basically how all HTML elements are defined, it's just that the browser defines the default ones for us.)
 
-2. Open the `codewars-badge.js` file. The badge is defined as a class that extends the `HTMLElement` class. This is how web components are defined. The `connectedCallback` method is called when the element is added to the DOM. This is where we (a) make the request to the Codewars API and then (b) render the data we get back.

 3. Change the `username` variable in the `codewars-badge.js` file to your own Codewars username. Save the file and refresh the page to see your own badge.
 
-4. Look at this API directly in your browser: https://www.codewars.com/api/v1/users/CodeYourFuture. (Install a [JSON viewer extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer/gbmdgpbipfallnflgajpaliibnhdgobh) for your browser if you don't have one already. This will make it easier to read the data.)

-5. There's lots of other possible data we could display in the badge. Now try adding some more data to the badge. You can find the documentation for the Codewars API here: https://dev.codewars.com/#get-user

-6. Now try creating a new web component that displays some data from a Codewars API. There are several documented APIs you can try out. Use the `codewars-badge.js` file as a template for how to define a web component. You can use the `index.html` file to test your new component.

 #### Remember: keep it simple!
 
-You don't need to make a full web app. Just make a web component that displays some data from the Codewars API. If your component gets complicated, _break it down_ into smaller components and compose them on the page, just as you would do with any other HTML element.
