HOMEPAGE PROJECT ASSIGNMENT Your assignment is to take the "pattern" homepage included at the end of this document, and turn it into a personal homepage for yourself. (Remember that the pattern is available on-line in the class gopher space, so there is no need to copy the pattern from this document.) To do the project, you need to * Make a copy of (only) the pattern and turn it into a file called myHomePage.html (or some file name that ends with .html) * When making the asked-for changes to the pattern, make the changes (only) to the new file you have created. * Follow directions within the pattern that tell you where to fill in information appropriate to yourself * Get three (appropriate and stable) URL's and insert them in the appropriate places in the pattern. * Put your e-mail address into the appropriate place in the pattern. * While doing all the above, use Netscape or some other web browser to verify that the appearance of the rendered homepage is correct, that the links you have inserted are working correctly, and that the e-mail link to you works correctly. If you are interested, you may use the scanner in the lab to convert a photo of yourself into an image file, and you may enter the name of the image file in the appropriate place in the pattern. This part is purely optional. I will do demonstrations in class to help you with all the points covered above, and to give you additional information that you will be needing. I will examine your homepage by opening it with Netscape. I'll check to see that everything displays correctly, that all the links work, and that you have made all the changes to the pattern necessary so that the document really looks like your finished homepage. I will base your grade on the results. THE DUE DATE FOR THIS PROJECT Check the class schedule for the due date. This project may be e-mailed to me any time before midnight on the due date. Late projects will not be accepted. DIRECTIONS ON MAILING IN THE PROJECT To turn in the project, send the HTML source file to me via e-mail. It takes a lot of extra space, time, and effort to process image files, so please, if you included a photo in your web page, *do not* send me the image file. Also, the part of the web page that is responsible for displaying the photo and caption is "commented out" of the pattern. This section must also be commented out of (or deleted entirely from) the version of the homepage HTML source that you turn in. Before you begin to mail your homepage HTML source, remember to first set- up Netscape properly by giving it your identity. In class, I'll demonstrate in detail how to use Netscape to mail your homepage HTML source. ================================================== ================================================== --------------------- beginning of pattern -------------------- -------------------------- "cut here" -------------------------- your home page title here
