Deploy on Day One Project

Goal:

To add yourself to the student section of the FlatironSchool.com and create your profile page. You will be working in a team of 4 people. At the end of the project, you'll have 4 new html files in the students directory, one for each student.

Deliverable:

Ideally we'd like a git repo on github that we can clone and view your profile page as a local static file in a web browser. However, any method you can think of to get us the files so that we can open and view is a win.
