Week 4

Homework for next week

Read chapters 3 and 4 in your textbook. The first half of chapter 3 will be a review, the second hafl talks about the external stylesheet.

Optional for extra practice: Create a mini site of your own with 5 pages all linked together. Should have

  • an image or two
  • a navigation system with links to all five pages in your mini site
  • a color scheme
  • a link or two to other Web sites
  • a footer with copyright info
  • content -- not lorem ipsum........
  • heading tags used the right way --< h1> for the main heading, <h2> for a sub heading, etc.
  • use the <p> tag for paragraphs of content
  • anything else you want to add?

The more you practice the easier this will become. As I said in class, this is not a spectator sport......

What we did in class

My files in a zipped folder -- download to your thumbdrive (not into the mysites folder!). Unzip and compare your files with mine.

A pdf of what we did in case you just want to compare the code of the html web page and the external css file.
