"My Life" Website

This project will give you practice writing basic HTML web pages. You will create a website about your life, consisting of five separate HTML pages. This project will provide you with an opportunity to practice the following features of HTML:

• Tables
• Lists (including nested lists)
• Pictures
• Headings
• Paragraphs
• Links

Below you will find descriptions of the five separate pages that you will create. For each page, I have provided a screenshot of an example of how that page should look. (Of course you will use information about your life to fill the pages, instead of information about my life!) Please read the requirements for each page very carefully so that you don't lose any points.

The first page, index.html, serves as the starting point for your website. Users will begin here, and may click the links on this page to reach the other four pages.

We strongly recommend creating a folder (visible within Komodo Edit) called "Project1". All of the work you do on this project should go in this folder. This includes the five separate HTML pages that you will create and all of the photos that go along with your pages.

You must create five separate HTML pages. Click the links below to see a screenshot and a list of requirements for each of the pages.

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

• All of your pages must satisfy the HTML Validator with no errors or warnings of any kind. If you are getting mysterious errors that you can't diagnose, drop by to see one of the TAs during office hours. If you submit pages that don't validate properly you will lose a lot of points.
• We do not accept email submissions of projects under any circumstances. See the instructions below for the proper procedure 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 on the project due date because you were not able to submit the project successfully.
• This project is to be done individually. 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 none of your photos are more than 1MB (1 megabyte) in size, and that the total size of your project (including all of your photos) will not take up more than 8MB. The server will reject submissions that are too large.

You will be submitting a zip file. Please be sure that all of your work (your HTML files and your photos) 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. The procedure is similar on a Mac.

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. Late submissions received up to 24 hours beyond the deadline will be accepted, but will be penalized 20 points. No submissions will be accepted more than 24 hours past the deadline.

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 all of your photos.
