Activity (100%):
  • Get an account on some non-college web server, if you have not done so, such as
        Yahoo's Free GeoCities (see below for uploading files to GeoCities ) or Lycos's Free Tripod , etc.
  • OPTIONAL: If you are planning to actually continue to use this, you may wish to investigate fee charging sites like
        $3/mo 1and1.com, www.godaddy.com, or the slightly more expensive, but perhap better service with SuperNova.net

    If you cannot not access an ISP, contact me for alternative solutions (Primarily dual credit students)

        (10%) Files accessable on a real web site

    Suggestion to meet the 3 page minimum

    An attractive default document, also known as a splash screen, that opens when you access your account; this could link to a re-worked résumé and some other appropriate page, or a portfolio of some type

    [What is a portfolio? Your portfolio should be web pages with content that would interest a specific audience, such as for a sample web pages for a prospective employer, images you have created, or examples of skills you have to show off.]
    A sample portfolio.

    Test that everything works on your computer. On your ISP, create the required folders, and upload your files to the appropriate folder

    folder \ (ISP)

           folder (your area on ISP)
              |
              |----index.html (or what ever the default document name needs to be)
              |
              |---- folderpages
              |          |-  page1.htm
              |          |-  page2.htm
              |         
              |---- folderimages
                         |- yourimage.jpg
                         |- yourbackground.jpg

  • Note: if you upload files with errors, you must delete those files on the server, fix them on your disk, then upload them again. Most upload or ftp servers will not let you over-write or edit files.
