Beginning Some Practice Web Pages
For several of the Tasks to come, you will need to build and submit web pages that demonstrate your abilities in web basics. You
will be publishing these practice pages to your web site, but do not link to
them from your placeholder page, even if you already know how!

As you build your practice files, your folder list should
begin to look like the Folder List to the right (except the top
line will be the name of your web). Put any images you use for
practice files into a subfolder of the main images folder. Later
in the term, this will make them easier to find and remove. To
make a subfolder of 'images', right click on 'images',
select 'New', then 'Folder', and name the new subfolder 'practice'.
If you are using a non-FrontPage HTML editor, the '_private'
folder will not exist, but others may have been inserted instead. |

Your First Practice File - Text Formatting
In HTML, there is a difference between a line of text and a paragraph.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! When you use the 'Enter' key on the keyboard, you are starting a new
paragraph. You will use this to make bulleted or numbered lists.
If you want to just insert an extra line (with, or without, text), use
'Shift' and 'Enter' at the same time.
Copy the text from this file of the US
Declaration of Independence. Create a new file in your HTML
editor, then paste the text onto the page. Using your HTML editor's
menu system, and using your favorite HTML tutorials if necessary, do the
following:
- Find the misspelled words and correct them. FrontPage shows 6
misspelled words in the main text by underlining them with squiggly
red lines - your HTML editor may show more or less, may show them in a
different way, or may not show them at all.
- Ignore any words shown as misspelled below John Hancock's name.
- Convert the entire page to be Arial (or Sans Serif) font.
- Center the top two lines.
- Click this link and make the same
words colored, underlined, or bold, and the same lines bulleted or list
numbered.
Discussion Board Task 3-1: Post a Link to Your Practice Page
When your are done with the text formatting, SAVE IT, then publish
practice3-1.htm to your web site and post a link to it in the Discussion Board. Discuss
the difficulties
you had, or tricks you learned and want to share.
