Personal Web Page Assignment

Each student will create his/her own Web page. 20 points. Due Wednesday, May 27th, 5:00 p.m. You may store it on the TCF Web server (http://www.tcf.ua.edu) or another location of your own choosing. To submit your Web page, e-mail its location (its URL) to Jeremy Butler, jbutler@ua.edu.

Required components:

1. Links to all the Web sites you've reviewed for the class.
   • One of these links must also include an "anchor" inside a page.
2. A paragraph about yourself--interests, major, hobbies, etc.
   • But do not include your phone number or local address (or student ID number or VISA card number or anything else you wouldn't give to a stranger in a bus station).
3. One HTML table.
4. One HTML list.
5. An image you've found on the Web.
6. A photograph of yourself (I'll create this first one for you if you don't have one).
7. A background color or image.
8. Different sized fonts.
9. "Last revised" and contact information (with a MAILTO tag).
10. A few horizontal rules.

Your page may not:

1. Be a copy of a Web page you've created before this class. However, it may contain elements taken from other Web pages of yours. At least 75% of it must be new.

Grading criteria:

1. Do images display properly and links function correctly?
2. Are there spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors?
3. Is it well-written HTML code? That is, is the source code easy to read (and, thus, easy to edit later)?
4. Does the page load quickly? (Are images as small as possible?)
5. Is it functional and attractive? That is, does it make a strong impact?
6. How well does the layout look on a 640x480 screen? How does the page look on a 256-color monitor?
7. Does it use the elements presented in Joe Barta's tutorials? Does it make creative, original use of those elements?
