Customizing your web page

At this point, you should have a full-featured page with lists, links, headers, graphics, sounds and other neat things. At a minimum, the web page you create must have the following:

• A header
• A few paragraphs of text
• Your picture (or another photo)
• A relative link to another spot on the page
• At least three hypertext links
• A list (ordered, unordered or definition)

Take this time to fix up your web page and change it to look more like some of the ones you found attractive. If you want to know how a web site achieved a certain look, try viewing its HTML code by selecting "View | Page Source" in your Netscape Window while you are visiting that page.

If there are tags you do not understand or things you cannot figure out how to do, ask a TA for assistance. It takes a bit of experience to learn a lot of the HTML tricks used on the most attractive pages.

In Lab 6 you will be learning more advanced HTML topics. You will also be learning a lot more about graphics next week in Lab 4.
