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.
