O.K., now to the assignment:

1. Two or more pictures on one page, with side-by-side text. You may need to read chapter 5 & and bit of 6. Here is an example, done by a previous student.

2. In addition, I want a "Cascading Stle Sheet" used. Instead of having it embedded in the page, I want it implemented as an external file.

3. Here is a nice tutorial on using css (cascading Style sheets)... Easy to understand and use...

3a. Here is a more complete tutorial on using css (cascading Style sheets)... Very comprehensive with areas for practicing, showing your results, online.

4. The page your create should discuss/show famous people, a movie, t.v. show or event in American history.

5. Create another web-page called Web Experiments and link it to your main web-page. This page should have a link to the page above with an appropriate title. We will be using this web-experiments page for future work.

Here is some unix/linux commands that will helpful with this next part...

5. Add a meta tag to your main web-page before doing the next step. The following is an example of the tag used at "tinyrealm.com" - yours should use key-words that describe your web-page. It should be in the head section of your index.html page. You will need to ssh into your web-page and use the "nano" editor to add this code the "head" section of your "index.html" page. It is important to have this tag in place before the "search-bots" visit your web-site. Here is the example:
< title > Computer Science - UMHB - Belton,Texas < /title >

< meta name="Description" content="CS,Server,Game,programming,Compiler,Robot">

< meta name="KeyWords" content="CS, Game, Programming, Robotics, Texes, University" >

You will see other meta tags in the < head > section of the page - add your tag to the rest. You may feel the previous meta tag and page title are inappropriate for your web-page. You should delete or change them...

5. Now to complete this weeks task, follow the instructions on this web-page to tell the search engines about your web-pages, here at UMHB. Be aware that many of these search engines no longer accept suggestions as to which web-pages to search, relying on search-bots to find appropriate pages... Some of them may even have disappeared One the easiest and best things you can do to raise your web-pages popularity is to list it with Google - check out this web-page I will check google in a couple of weeks to see if I can find your web-page.
Remember search engines follow links - the more cross-linked your web page is, the more hits you'll get from search engines... Try and get other web-sites to link to your web-page. You may have friends who have web-pages, offer to cross link to each other sites. The more popular the site the more the cross-link is worth in internet visability. Your links to other pages should be under "Favorite Links".
