In this assignment, you are to create a personal web page. I recommend you use Macromedia Dreamweaver, which is on the computers in the lab, although you may use other web-authoring software so long as you meet all the requirements of the assignment.

I will not accept e-mailed, gsubmitted, or printed submissions for this assignment. To receive any credit whatsoever, you must have a working web page.

  1. If you have not already done so, while logged into CSA, from the UNIX prompt use the web-ok command.  Follow the instructions.  Note that it will take 24 hours before your web-page directory is created.

  2.  
  3. Create a personal web page with the following elements:

  4.  
    1. a title (page properties):  The title should show up on the title bar of the web browser.  For instance, the title of this homework assignment's web page is "CS101 Homework 4."  A sample title might be "Joe Smith's Personal Page."
    2. a heading
    3. three or more fonts and three or more colors on text
    4. at least one use of bold, italics, and one alignment (center/left/right)
    5. at least two pictures: one that you scanned, and one from the web (cite the source)
    6. a page color or background
    7. one or more lists (bullets or numbers)
    8. one or more tables
    9. three or more links to other web pages
    10. a link to your email address

  6.  
  7. Place your file in the public_html subdirectory in your directory.

  8.  
  9. If necessary, change the protection so that everyone can read it (use chmod a+r * ).
You should test your web page by attempting to view it under your directory.  Use a web browser and enter http:/cs-people.bu.edu/yourlogin as the url:.You do not need to hand anything in.  Your grader will evaluate your web page by viewing it.
