created scripts file for dropdown menus
alright, so normalize doesn't want to work locally, so I had to link to the cdn. And for a bit, styles.css wasn't linking right either. Maybe I was overthinking it by adding the folder paths to the file. I just needed the file name. But I swear I had that at first...the only logical solution is that I'm going crazy. That's it. Anyhoo, thanks to @phillycc and @asoper29 for trying to help me out with this dumb yak shaving.
basic html and css of dropdown menus: done. Javascripts now.
added more things to group lists, added prelim javascripts
