CIS 3.1 Lab #3 : Composing Your Web Page

Macromedia Dreamweaver will be used to update your lab #2 web page. When you are done, transfer the file to your ITS account or alternative web site. Please create a new file so I can see both labs.

Starting here you should create a portfolio page with your name and email address, such as the page that you created in Lab #2. Use that page to link to all your lab assignments. I will be using that URL to check periodically your progress. Also include a link to your term project there.

Please do the following:

In this lab, you will create a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) for your web site.

1. Create a CSS file for your web site. It should specify
• Background color and/or image for your web pages
• Text fonts, styles, and colors for various block formats (e.g. <P>, <H1>)
• Colors for links
2. Use the CSS file in a sample web page using the <LINK> tag:

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="mystylesheet.css" TYPE="text/css">

Also you should update some features on your web page:

1. Layout your homepage using tables to arrange elements on the page. Fill in these elements with text or images (other media will come later). At the very least, your homepage should have a heading indicating the name of your site.
2. Add meta-tags (keywords & description) to the header of your document.
3. Have text AND image links.
4. Use a list to get some points across.

   Suggestions for the list are:

• Steps in a recipe
• Favorite song titles & artist
• Favorite video games
5. Anything you'd like to add, please add it. Surprise me :)
