Homework 3
CS101A1
(due Wednesday, April 16, 2003)
In this assignment, you are to create a personal web page. You may use
pico, Netscape Composer, Macromedia Dreamweaver, or other web-authoring
software so long as you meet all the requirements of the assignment.
Do not, however, use Microsoft Word or Microsoft FrontPage to create
your webpage as it will make the next assignment more difficult (the
Microsoft products tend to add a lot of extra and unnecessary tags).
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.
- 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.
- Create a personal web page with the following elements:
- 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 3." A sample title might be "Joe Smith's
Personal Page."
- a heading
- three or more fonts and three or more colors on text
- at least one use of bold, italics, and one alignment (center/left/right)
- at least two pictures: one that you scanned, and one from the web
(cite the source)
- a page color or background
- one or more lists (bullets or numbers)
- one or more tables
- three or more links to other web pages
- a link to your email address
- at least three paragraphs of text
- Save your web page with the name index.html
- Place your file in the public_html subdirectory in your
directory.
- 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.
