2. Preparing your digital portfolio/final website - GUIDELINES
Purpose – this site will showcase or promote something that you want to share with others. It could be your writing, your artwork, your organization or yourself. It could also be an extension of your PowerPoint presentation on a subject you believe in. Here are some variations on themes:

An expansion of the subject you presented in your PPT with more links, videos and information
A personal website with a professional approach that could be used as an online resume
A website for your organization or group (or a family business)
A showcase site for photography, poetry, music or artwork
A site about a favorite subject – sushi, sloths, altered photography, horse training
A How-To site – Ultimate, cooking, using Photoshop elements, play or design online games

3. Examples of good student websites from previous semesters:

4. Understand the importance of the web file folder and set up a 26mywebusername folder for your website pictures and content pages. Make an images folder inside that folder.

5. Open 23wwysiwyg from Class to your shared folder. We will handcode a webpage first, and then we will use SeaMonkey for comparison. While setting our background, we will review the hexadecimal color system, for web-safe browser colors.

6. We will work on a practice web to see how pages link together for good navigation
