Designing Web Pages 

This project is about using some web design templates to design a simple web page.  There are sites are available which will allow you to design and store a web page for yourself at no charge in return for the viewers of your page viewing various advertising.  Two of these sites are:

http://www.angelfire.com
http://www.geocities.com

In this project you will select one of these sites and use it to design a web page for yourself.  The web page must contain your name, some text, and at least one uploaded picture.  If you already have a web page which meets those criteria, you may submit that page instead.  

After you design your page, you will print a copy of your web page using the print command of any web browser and then submit the printout to your instructor.  You will also send your instructor an email containing the complete URL for your site (including the http://... part) in the text of the email.  Send the email to guyd1234@mail.plattsburgh.edu .  (DO NOT SEND THE EMAIL TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR'S PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS.  IT WILL BE DESTROYED BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR'S EMAIL FILTER AND YOU WILL RECEIVE NO CREDIT FOR THE PROJECT.)  Also send a copy of your email to yourself, read it, and check that your site is displayed correctly when the reader clicks on the URL.

In class we will talk about an example of using one of those sites to design a simple web page.  To see a Powerpoint presentation about using that site, you can click here.

You will need to turn in the following to the instructor on the date this assignment is due (check the class schedule):
  1) PRINTOUT #1:  A printed copy of your final web page printed from a web browser into which
       you have typed the URL of your page.  (This is not to be a printout of you working on your template.)
  2) PRINTOUT #2:  None.
  3) DISK FILE:  None.
  4) OTHER:  An email containing the URL of your page and sent to your instructor at the
       following address:   guyd1234@mail.plattsburgh.edu   
       and NOT sent to your instructor's personal email address.
