Just ran into the same problem.

Same issue here. I thought maybe I could get to the assignment by going directly to www.brytdesigns.com but get a "Something went wrong, try again" page. Seems maybe the brytdesigns website has more issues than just this one. Looking forward to going forward with the lessons.

Same here

Just noticed this issue, I raised a PR with a fixed link for this recently:
#29259

Please see the link itself here if you wish to view it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240229071343/https://www.brytdesigns.com/html-css-javascript-whats-the-difference

Edit:
Also just noticed this was already discussed and closed in this PR...

As an alternative, if the consensus is that use of wayback machine is not ideal, this page could be suitable?

The link works now and has been fixed. Generally, I would encourage a bit of patience whenever you run into a 500 error. These just happen from time to time, even on well-run, busy sites like GitHub. And when they occur on smaller sites like this person's blog, they may take a few days to get fixed.

Given that the link works now, I'll be closing this issue as not planned.

Sorry I was frustrated. It doesnt happen often and won't happen again. Thank you. Jeff Brown
