Assignment #3
Due Wednesday, July 2
40 Points
In this assignment, you will use XHTML 1.0 Strict to author and publish
your own homepage using the UNH computer systems. You must satisfy
the following guidelines and requirements:
- The content of your homepage is up to you, but it should reflect
some sort of coherent theme throughout. It is allowable, but by no
means necessary, for your content to relate to your RSS feed from
Assignment #2 and/or your plans for your Final
Project.
- You must use XHTML 1.0 Strict to author your page.
- The page must contain the minimal elements necessary to make it
a valid XHTML 1.0 Strict document as explained in lecture.
- The page must contain and appropriately utilize at
least three paragraphs, one division and two
line breaks.
- The page must contain and appropriately utilize at
least three headings, which reflect at
least two different levels of importance.
- The page must contain and appropriately use both
emphasized text and strongly emphasized text.
- The page must contain a link that leads to
the course homepage at http://www.cs.unh.edu/cit/403/index.html.
- The page must display the image published at http://pubpages.unh.edu/~amgilder/images/butterfly.jpg.
Don’t worry if the image doesn’t complement your theme;
the point here is to work through the mechanics necessary to display
it.
- The page must be published in a file named index.html using
your cisunix account and the pubpages server. In other words, the
URL of your page should be http://pubpages.unh.edu/~xyz/index.html,
where xyz is your UNH user name. When you click the “Homepage” link
beside your name on the Homepages page,
your rendered page should appear in your browser window without requiring
any additional click of the mouse.
- Test your page by viewing it with a Web browser. Be sure
to check the link.
- Once your page is published, ensure that it
validates without errors when you enter its
URL into the W3C Markup Validation Service at http://validator.w3.org/.
Fix any errors as necessary. Be sure to re-publish and re-validate
after you fix errors or make changes.
- Do not change your published page for 72 hours following the submission
deadline to allow time for grading.
The publishing process for Web pages is the same as you used to publish
your RSS feed. If you have difficulties, review the Publishing
Tutorial.
