Homework
Add a separate schedule page to the web page you built in the lab. The original version of my old home page included a hyperlink to a schedule page (named "how can I contact him"). Take a look at this page to see what I'm talking about. It lists my weekly schedule (for the spring of 2002 :-).
For this homework, make a schedule page for the homepage you made in the lab. It doesn't particularly matter to me what goes in the page, but at least do the following:
- Model your schedule page after mine (or some other schedule - see Earl Fife's for example, which is the one that I originally modeled mine after in 1996 - be careful of his picture though...).
- Include at least one hyperlink.
- Use bold face and italics somewhere.
- Set the border attribute of the table to "1"
- Include 2 or 3 comments throughout the HTML source file flagging important parts of the file (e.g., "hyperlinks to other pages" or "contact information").
- If you download images from the internet, be sure to include a comment on where you got them. You can use your own photos whenever you like - The old homepage that we used in the lab used two images: one of my own and another from Calvin, so I'm not required to acknowledge either of them. The Acme example from class used an external image and included an appropriate reference (with source and date).
For more help on HTML, see the W3C HTML tutorial/reference materials. You can build these pages using any tool you'd like; I'll only see your finished HTML file (using a text editor and a browser). Just make sure that you preview them in both Netscape and Internet Explorer to make sure that they look alright.
Personal Database Project
Create a suitable homepage for your PDP. You can use anything as a model (e.g., the Acme page). Make it appealing, and don't worry at this point about hyperlinking any sub-pages. Just include some dummy text for this (e.g., "this will be a hyperlink") and we'll add real links later when we're building the sub-pages.
