"Create Your Web Page" Assignment

 

As your last project, you are to create a personal web presence and install it on the SUNY Oneonta web server.  You don't need to turn in a hard copy of your web pages; I will grade them by looking at them from the web server.  Your web site should consist of the following web pages:

  1. An overview page (aka your home page, aka index.html)
  2. A personal info page
  3. A professional info page
  4. Other pages

 

The Overview Page:

The overview page should provide general information about yourself, including your name, your classification, your major, and that you attend SUCO, and should have a picture of you with a descriptive title below it.  It should also have links to your personal info page, your professional info page, and any other pages you have created that would fit in.  It should also link to the SUCO home page, and should list your class schedule, with links to any class web pages as well.  This page is your homepage, and it MUST be called index.html, and MUST be in the root directory of your W: drive!!  Verify that it is set up properly by having a friend go to http://students.oneonta.edu/<your-login-name> and see if they can see your home page.

 

The Personal Info Page:

On this page you should describe yourself, your interests, hobbies, pets, family members, fraternities or sororities, or anything else that you want to include.  You should include links to web pages of other people you refer to (if they have web pages), sites related to your hobbies, etc.  You should also include a section of favorite links and have links in it to at least two different groups of at least 5 sites each, as well as any other links you like.  So that it at LEAST 10 links grouped in two sets of 5, with each set having a (different) theme in common to all 5 links.

 

The Professional Info Page:

This page should describe your professional interests.  It should list any professional organizations to which you belong, and generally anything else related to “what you want to be when you grow up.”  Any societies mentioned should have links to their web pages here.  You should also have a link to a copy of your resume which should be in HTML format.  Your resume should include the usual stuff: name, contact info (if you wish), education, work experience, honors and awards, etc.  If you don’t have a resume, you can create one using Word and the resume templates, and save it as HTML.

 

Other Pages:

These pages can be created at your discretion.  For instance, you might have a page devoted to your pet, or maybe a page devoted to your SO, or a page devoted to a special interest you have.  You should have at least one of these linked from your overview page.  For a sample of what your page might look like, see http://employees.oneonta.edu/allisodl/csci100/samplepage/index.html.

 

Specifics of the layout of your pages is up to you, but they will be graded on whether or not they meet the specifications given above..  I will be checking them either with Internet Explorer so make sure they work with this browser at least.  Here is a sample grading sheet.

 

For further information about HTML, follow this link, or this link, or this link, or this link, or even this link.  Once you get your basic page up, you might check out some of the links above to learn how to install animated GIFs or music, or movies, or other fun things on your pages.  For a mediocre example of a set of web pages that meet the bare minimum required, check out this link.

 

The above gives you a brief outline of what you are to do for your final assignment.  The next step is to talk about how in the world you do it!  For starters, you should read the guide that the college has published on how to setting up web pages  Go read these now!!!
