Tools for Information Literacy ④ Hard coding a web page

Task 02a

Task

website creation task logo

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 task02a, then save the file you will create 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, and, later, go on to create a totally individualized, fuller, multi-level personal web site according the specs provided in task 02c.

Condition

By 2359 on the day of the CSS lecture, SFTP the entire task02a folder into your public_html directory on Opal and submit your URL in Canvas assignments. It should read

https://opal.ils.unc.edu/~your-own-onyen/task02a/index.html

Task 02a is required just to compel you to try out hard coding.

Standard

Your hard coded page must validate using the W3C Markup Validation Service. There must be no errors in your code.

Yours might look like this
