Introduction

In this assignment you will create a site that will link to your course work throughout the semester and help you organize resources.  You will need to dust off those old 212 skills to do this, so check the 212 video demonstrations if necessary.

This review lab will make sure everyone can use Dreamweaver to create a simple page and manage files. Make sure you look at all the links in the instructions. Plan to spend 1-3 hours on this lab.

As explained in the orientation, this CIS 213 Web site links to the very large movie files. If you have trouble accessing these from home, try viewing them on campus or from another high speed connection.

As always, post questions to Blackboard discussion forum. You can expect a response within two business days. 

What to Do

1. If you haven't already, follow the steps on the Dreamweaver Site Management handout to set up your site and connect to the server.
   
2. Create a new Dreamweaver file in your local root folder named 213homework.htm.  Take a look at my EXAMPLE of what you will be creating.
   
3. Edit 213homework.htm so it includes:
   • page title (using <title> tag)
   • your name
   • a photo of you (with alt text)
   • a list of all the projects we will be doing in class - you can copy and paste these from my example page.
   • A list of links to web sites you find useful
   • A footer with the revision date, your name, e-mail address, and URL (with absolute link).  You can use the Insert -> Date feature to set this up to autmatically update.
   • an external style sheet (CSS) that defines the font face & page color and sets up link hover colors. If you don't remember how to do an external style sheet, please see CSS video demonstrations.

   BE SURE TO SEE THE EXAMPLE.
