    *   How to choose the Goerli network and click on create App.
        
    *   Adding Alchemy Goerli to Metamask wallet.
        
    *   Getting free Goerli test ETH
        
*   How to compile and deploy the NFT Smart Contract on the Goerli Testnet,  
    (here is my deployed contract address)
