This task has two components

The first component is to demonstrate some hard coding skills, both with HTML and with CSS. The second is to complete a fuller multi-level web site.

Subtask 02.01

Subtask 02.01 is to create an initial hard-coded homepage, a page we will use in class to practice other skills. Use a basic text editor and type in the text on the tags page of the HTML session class notes.

Create a folder on your computer and name it "subtask_2.1", then save the file as index.html in the folder you just created so that it will display as the first page in that directory. This may be the basis of your fuller task 02 website, but it does not have to be. You may wish to use this hard-coded page solely for HTML practice in class, but create a totally individualized, fuller, multi-level personal web site according the specs below.

FTP the entire "subtask_2.1" folder to your public_html space by 2359 on day before the CSS session, and tell me to look at it via an email which gives me the URL to use. This subtask component is required just to compel you to try out hard coding.

Subtask 02.02

Subtask 02.02 is to link your initial hard-coded homepage to one of a set of external CSS stylesheets. Use a basic text editor and link the page you created for subtask 2.1 to one of these CSS sheets

You may wish to experiment with each of the stylesheets to see which one most suits you. You may also wish to add different kinds of HTML tags on your 2.1 page to see how the different stylesheets cause them to display.

Update "subtask_2.1/index.html" page and update the entire "subtask_2.1" folder to your public_html space by 2359 on day before the working with the layers session. This subtask component is required just to compel you to try out linking to an external CSS stylesheet.

For the second part of this task, you are to create a fuller, multi-level personal web site.
