For running javascript on a webpage, placement matters!
Putting scripts at the end of `<body>` is safest—avoids loading delays.
But if you *must* put it in `<head>`, use `async` or `defer`.
Check out W3Schools for examples. They’re beginner-friendly and straight to the point.

Wow, thanks everyone! This is *way* more helpful than those confusing tutorials.
I tried the external file method and it worked! But now I’m curious—what’s the difference between `async` and `defer`? Like, when should I use one over the other?
Also, CodePen looks awesome—gonna play with that next. Thanks again! 😊
