Overview
This week we will have a website challenge in which each group will work together to create the most impressive, nicest looking, standards compliant website they can.
Thursday, February 15th 5th Period
Classwork / Homework
Since it was apparent on Tuesday that y'all wanted more structure to this project, here it is. In your personal directory on your web server, you should do each of the following:
- Copy the contents of the minimal page from
Lesson 1 of Getting Down with HTML into a file named
index.html
. - Add a title (something like
My Homepage
) between the open and close title tags in the head. - Create an
h1
element immediately after the openbody
tag with the same contents as your title. - Verify that this page is valid.
- Begin iteratively doing the following:
- Add a new html element to your page. Try adding a list, or an image, or a paragraph, etc.
- Verify that your page still validates.
- Add a link from your page to your group's homepage.
- Once you are satisfied with the content of your page, use available time to begin to style it with CSS, using the same iterative, small steps with validation checks that you used for HTML.
