Your Personal Homepage Online
Create a personal homepage and mount it in your account on the SWeb server. The format and content of the page
are up to you--be as creative as you want to be--but it should include at least one image and at least one link.
To see how the various graphical elements on this page were created you can use your browser to View the HTML source.
When you are done, please mail me the URL. If you send me a URL that doesn't work I will not try to figure out what it ought to have been. The best way to ensure that you get the URL right is to copy and paste it from your browser's location bar into your mail message.
Below are some ideas to experiment with.
- place a portion of your text boldface; place a portion of your text
in italics
- create a bulleted list like this one
- experiment with horizontal rules <hr>, like the one at the very bottom of this page
- experiment with differ kinds of headers; the one above ("Your Personal Homepage Online") is an <h2>; try <h1> and <h3>
- center both an image and a paragraph of text or a header
- add a background image to your page
- change the default text, link, and visited link colors for your page; here are the color codes
you'll need, against both a white background and a black background (read this note)
- change the font color and size for a few words or a phrase on your page
- change the font face to arial and courier
- create a "mailto" link so people can send you email directly from your page;
mine would look something like this: mgk@pop.uky.edu
