HTML Assignment 1
Using the information from the preceding pages, construct a basic template
for a web page. Save it as html, on a floppy disk or on your USB flash
drive. Then print out a copy and bring it to class.
Once you have done that, save a backup copy of the template on a diskette
and/or flash drive, for your
use on the assignments that will follow.
Important Tips:
- Use WordPad (or whatever its equivalent is on your machine) to do this.
- Type the template exactly as it appears on the "Getting
Started" page. If you have typos, you won't have a web page.
- Once you're done, you must click "save as" and save the file as
either a .RTF (Rich Text File) or as a Web page. The easiest way to do
this in wordpad is to simply save the document, using the "save as" command"
as a RTF file, but manually give it a suffix of .html.
- If you try to do this on any of the big name word processors, they will
add all kinds of hidden formatting commands to your template which, when you
try to have a browser read the document, will only see it as trash.
- Don't Panic. If worse comes to worst, you can do it by hand on a
.txt editor.
- Save multiple backups, because this is the base from which all of your
other handwritten pages will begin. There's no point re-typing this
every time you want to begin a new page.
