It's looking great! Nice :)
Even though this is your branch, I technically can't approve this pull request since I authored it.
I think we can move away from HTML to straight-up markdown now.
My general advice for exercises is to include more "why" into the steps instead of only the "what". It helps give the reader more background as to why each step is necessary to achieve the end goal.

The title/heading of next-steps.md is "Learn QGIS" so we could probably rename the file learn-qgis.md

| <p> Now that you have soaked up all of this information, what is next? Lets continue learning through QGIS. QGIS is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software. You are allowed to create, analyze, and publish data through a map. We are going to take some of the concepts that we learned earlier and apply them by creating our own maps! </p> |

| Now that you've soaked up all the foundational knowledge from this site, the next step is to go deeper by learning how to use [QGIS](https://qgis.org/). | |
| QGIS is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) desktop software that enables you to create, analyze, and print maps. | |
| In the exercises, we'll put what you've learned into practice by working on making our own maps! |

| <p>In this picture, there is also a zoom in (magnifying glass with a plus) and zoom out button (magnifying glass with a minus). You can click one of these and then left click to either zoom in or zoom out. You can also zoom in and out by either moving your mouse scroll, or using CTRL + and CTRL - if on windows. Don't forget to click back on "<b>Pan Map</b>" in order to move the map around again. </p> | ||

| <p> Next, in the bar towards the top of the screen, click "<b>Plugins</b>" and "<b>Manage and Install Plugins...</b>." In the search bar, type and install: "<b>QuickMapServices</b>." The author is NextGIS. Make sure it pops up on the left side under "<b>Installed</b>" to see if it is downloaded. You might need to restart QGIS to be able to use the plugin. Before restarting, make sure that you save the exercise. Click "<b>Project</b>" in the top left and "<b>save</b>." Select a location and choose a file name. The file should save as "<b>.qgz</b>." </p> |
