Assignment 1: HTML         
(aboutme.html, contract.html, and tags.html)

Part 1:

Create a web page using Appleworks(this is in the Dock). First you need to go to Appleworks preferences, general - scroll to the text option and uncheck Smart Quotes.

You will save the document as a Text file and name it aboutme.html in your Sites Folder.

Your page should be about your interests, especially any sports, activities, etc. that you do at L-S and outside of school.  THE QUALITY OF CONTENT MATTERS! Your grade on this project will reflect your effort and elaboration within your text. Your page should use all of the following tag.

<html> The whole page goes after this tag and before the </html> tag. Within the "Html" tags are the "Head" and "Body" portions of the web page source. Ideally, all tags should be lowercase.

<head> The stuff after this tag and before the </head> tag is not actually in the page, but gives the browser additional information.

<title> After the title tag, put the title of the page that will appear on top of the browser window. Then put the </title> tag. Note: The "Title" should appear within the "Head."

<body> The stuff that's on the page goes after this tag and before the </body> tag.

<h1> Stuff between this and the </h1> tag is big. Try other <h#> tags and see what happens  
<p> Starts a new paragraph.</p>ends the paragraph

<br> A return without a space before the new line or sentence.

<hr> A horizontal line.

<b> Stuff between this and </b> will be bold.

<u> Stuff between this and </u> will be underlined.

<i> Stuff between this and </i> will be italicized.

<! Start all your comments that will not appear in a web page with an exclamation mark. No exclamation mark is needed at the end>

Part 2:
Format your aboutme.html page to include color background, text, and try some links to web sites(you will have to find out the tag for that). Make sure that any added links are pertinent to the "meat" of your text.

Part 3:
Go to the course contract page. Using HTML recreate your own version of this page and save it in your Site folder as contract.html.
