Project 1

The goal of this project is practice writing basic HTML and get comfortable creating webpages. You will create a website about your life with four separate pages.

• Tables
• Nested lists
• Pictures
• Headings
• Paragraphs
• Links

The links below provide descriptions for each of the pages you will create. There is an example screenshot for each page (sorry you can't "view source"). Please read descriptions carefully and capture every detail. Since coding is very detail-oriented, part of your grade will depend on how carefully you follow these instructions. You should maintain the layout of the example pages while replacing information about my life with info about your life.

The first page is the main page of your website called "index.html". Users begin there and click the links to visit the other pages.

You should create a folder called "Project1" to store all of your HTML files and picture.

You will create four HTML pages. Click the links below for the specific requirements of each page and a screenshot of what it should look like.

1. index.html
2. history.html
3. plans.html
4. interests.html

• All pages must satisfy the HTML Validator with no errors or warnings. If you are getting mysterious errors that you can't diagnose, go to TA office hours. If you submit pages that don't validate properly you will lose points.
• No email submissionsof projects under any circumstances. See instructions below for submitting your work. If you are not sure how to create a zip file and how to submit this zip file, it is your responsibility to visit TA office hours before the due date to ask for help. We will not grant extensions because you were unable to submit the project successfully.
• This project is to be done individually and submissions will be checked for originality. Students who are found to have collaborated on the project will be prosecuted for academic dishonesty.
• We have limited space on our submission server. Please be sure that your photo is not more than 1MB (1 megabyte) in size and the total size of your project will not take up more than 8MB. The server may reject submissions that are too large.

You will submit a zip file. Please be sure that all of your work (your HTML files and photo) are in a folder called "Project1". Create a zip file that includes this folder, as follows. On Windows, right-click the folder, then choose "send to, compressed (zipped) folder". DO NOT USE A UTILITY LIKE 7-ZIP OR WINRAR. On a Mac, right-click the folder, then choose "Compress yourFolderName".

You will not receive credit for submitting a file that is not a standard "zip" file. In particular, "rar" files or "7z" files will not be graded. Submit the zip file to the submit server by logging in, selecting Project 1 (My Life), and uploading the zip file to the server. You may submit as many times as you like. We will only grade the last submission. See syllabus for late policy.

After you have submitted the project, we strongly recommend downloading your submission from the submit server. It will give you a zip file. Unzip this file and verify that the contents are as they should be. It should contain all of your HTML files and your photo.
