+      <p>This is a quick tutorial to show you how to burn any file to a piece of optical disk media!</p>
+      <hr>
+      <h3>Warning ⚠️</h3>
+      <p>Once you burn an optical disk you cannot reburn it.</b>
+    <p>Optical media does not have the best storage, normally under 1GiB so make sure your files align with the size of the optical media.</b>
+  <hr>
+  <h2>What you will need 📋</h2>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Optical drive capable of writing to a CD</li>
+    <li>A computer with Linux  🐧🖥️</li>
+    <li>The ability to read instructions and to follow them 🧠</li>
+  </ul>
+  <hr>
+
+  <h2>Steps to burn 🔥</h2>
+  <p>You will only need one program to burn media to a CD; the name of that program is <a href="https://linux.die.net/man/1/wodim">wodim</a>, and it is part of a collection of programs called <a href="https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/cdrkit">cdrkit</a>, as in thename ofe this collection of programs that allow you to do a whole variaty of things withopticall media! 
+  <hr>
+
+  <li>1) Install cdrkit, on some Linux distrobutions cdrkit is already installed, but on my main Linux distrobution <a href="https://archlinux.org">Arch Linux</a>, it is not so check you have it installed, the package on your distro will most likely be called cdrkit.</li>
+  <br>
+  <div class="code-box">
+    <p>sudo pacman -S cdrkit</p>
+  </div>
+  <br>
+
+  <hr>
+
+  <li>2) You want to get whatever data you want into an ISO file, so if you had a file called movies that held movies you would use the command.</li><br>
+  <div class="code-box">
+    <p>mkisofs -o movies.iso movies</p>
+  </div>
+  <p>movies.iso being the output ISO and movies being the directory with the movies in there.</p>
+
+  <hr>
+
+  <li>3) Now the last command is the actual event of burning the optical media! So insert it into your optical drive and type this command.</li><br>
+  <div class="code-box">
+    <p>wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 movies.iso</p>
+  </div>
+  <p>movies.iso being the output ISO from the last command.</p>
+
+  <hr>
+
+  <li>4) Now it is time to sit back and wait for it to burn; do not get impatient; give it time, and it will burn. When it is done, you may enject the optical media from the CD drive, and it should have all the files you desire.</li><br>
