Lab HTML

Instructions:

Begin creating a fun web page about you and your interests. Today's lab should begin to meet some of the requirements for the class required web pages.

Available References:

• Short document on HTML
• Simple example website.
• More advanced example website.
• Right click on a webpage, then select View Page Source
• Google "HTML" followed by what you want to do
• Talk to a classmate who has experience
• Come to office hours

To get started:

• Bring up a terminal window
• cd ~/public_html
• edit (use editor such as gedit) your index.html (be sure to put the editor in the background, i.e. gedit index.html &) and save changes
• bring up a browser and see what it looks like, url will be:
  http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~your_login_name
• Make a few changes at a time and then refresh your browser to see results
• images for your web site should be a reference to the URL or saved as a file in your public_html directory. Remember to make your image readable by all.
  • chmod 644 image_name

Over the next 4 weeks, your website should grow to include

• Something about you
• At least one image
• At least two different web pages that you can traverse between without use of the "back arrow"
• Some use of color and varied fonts
• Links to other sites
• Links or other display of your javascript
• Some kind of table or form
• Working JavaScript program (will be covered in later lab)
• Graphics image that you create (will be covered in later lab)
• CSS (will be covered in later lab)
• Navigation bar (will be covered in later lab)
• Have perfect spelling and grammar

Remember your website must be in good taste and follow university guidelines.
