1

Create the list of pages

Create a list called pages containing these exact page names as strings: 'Home', 'About', 'Services', 'Blog', 'Contact'.

# Create the list of pages
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use square brackets to create a list and include all page names as strings separated by commas.

2

Define the main page

Create a variable called main_page and set it to the string 'Home'.

SEO Fundamentals

pages = ['Home', 'About', 'Services', 'Blog', 'Contact']
# Define the main page
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Assign the string 'Home' to the variable main_page.

3

Create the link structure

Create a dictionary called links where each key is a page name from pages and the value is a list of pages it links to. Use these exact links:
'Home' links to 'About' and 'Services';
'About' links to 'Home' and 'Contact';
'Services' links to 'Home' and 'Blog';
'Blog' links to 'Services' and 'Contact';
'Contact' links to 'Home'.

SEO Fundamentals

pages = ['Home', 'About', 'Services', 'Blog', 'Contact']
main_page = 'Home'
# Create the links dictionary
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces to create a dictionary. Each key is a page name string, and each value is a list of linked page names.

4

Add navigation links to pages

Create a dictionary called navigation where each key is a page name and the value is a string listing its linked pages separated by commas. Use the links dictionary to build these strings exactly as shown in step 3.

SEO Fundamentals

pages = ['Home', 'About', 'Services', 'Blog', 'Contact']
main_page = 'Home'
links = {
    'Home': ['About', 'Services'],
    'About': ['Home', 'Contact'],
    'Services': ['Home', 'Blog'],
    'Blog': ['Services', 'Contact'],
    'Contact': ['Home']
}
# Create the navigation dictionary with comma-separated linked pages
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a dictionary comprehension to create navigation. Join the linked pages with commas for each page.
