The beginning HTML course you are currently
enrolled in is part of a core for several Web certificates. Students seeking
a certificate
enroll in 2 courses where they are asked to work as a team to create Web
sites for non-profit agencies in Sonoma County. Please visit at least 2
of these sites and review one of them. I encourage you to borrow ideas
from
these sites and apply them to projects you create in the future. After
you complete CIS 58.51 A and B you will
have the skills required to work on a site you have reviewed. I hope you
will enroll in CIS 58.54

This assignment requires you to create a page named "index.html" that
contains the following HTML codes: basic tags [05 pts], headings [05 pts], font
size, color, and face [10 pts], break tags [05 pts], and text formatting tags
[05
pts].
Please do not copy the code included on the "examples" page. That code
is presented as a teaching tool, not a template for your
homework. The code you create needs to reflect the information for
your unique site. I do recommend that you review the code on the "examples" page, since it can serve as a guide and model for your homework. |
