Should the above link also be updated to v3.3.7 considering that v3.3.7 is required and included in the seed code for these challenges? I only mention this to maintain uniform consistency.

I think this is bikeshedding?
Using link tags as self closing is completely fine in HTML5.

Will leave others to comment and close, or proceed in case they think otherwise.

It's an interesting detail, and since both technically are valid - maybe we should show the cleaner way to use a link tag?

@raisedadead The problem is that before opening the issue, I read the Bootstrap Blog, and there was a link that made me think of a mistake. Anyway, if it is not the mistake, they probably should place the comment in the frecodecamp lesson to clarify this for others who will see it as a problem in future. I think that would be useful.

@Greenheart @RAYDENFilipp cool, we can add a note about this.

I can take this up. Will a note like this be clear enough?
"Using either of both > or /> to close the link tag are acceptable."

@AngShiYa Fantastic! Seems easy to get the message.

@AngShiYa Sure, please go ahead. Thanks.

Yup, thanks @cdrainxv.

@AngShiYa if your taking a crack at this, could you please update the link as well, as noted above?

Sure :)

Thanks to everyone involved! This is the beauty of OSS collaboration at it's best! :smile:
