Homework Assignment 3

Due Monday, October 9

This week you'll begin work on a basic personal Web site. We'll add features and refinements to this site in weeks that follow.

  1. We'll begin by renaming the basic page you built in the first two assignments, which is named yourLastName.hwk1.htm. This page will become the default arrival or index page for your personal site. Rename this page index.htm. You can do this either by using a RENAME utility in your FTP package or by downloading the file to your local machine, renaming it there, and uploading the renamed version.


  2. Remove the link to your classmate's page which you created in the previous assignment.


  3. Create a page called live.htm. Use this page to describe the place where you live. Include a heading and at least one horizontal rule. The text need not be elaborate and you may omit sensitive details like street address. Upload this page to your personal directory on Crow.


  4. Create a page called work.htm. Use this page to describe your present job or career objectives. (Again, you may omit any details you don't care to publish to the world.) Include a heading and at least one horizontal rule. Upload this page also to your personal directory on Crow.


  5. Create a page called play.htm, describing what you do for fun or relaxation. Include heading and rule. Upload as above.


  6. Create a page called outlinks.htm. Along with a heading, place on this page a list containing at least five active links to sites on the Web that you feel might be interesting to others. Upload as above.


  7. Open your index page in the editor. At some appropriate point in the page (this is a question of design), insert links from this page to the other four pages of your site: live, work, play, and outlinks. Test the links to be sure they work.


  8. Duplicate the link structure you built for the index page on each of the four topical pages: live, work, play, and outlinks. Vary the links in each case so that they point to the four pages other than the present page.


  9. Pull up index.htm in your editor one more time. Add somewhere on this page a link with a MAILTO: argument to HREF so that readers who arrive on your index page can send you e-mail. Test this link.
