Part 1: Homework folders

Set up a folder structure for your homeworks as follows:
  1. Within your html folder create a folder called homework
  2. Within the homework folder create a folder for each homework you hand in, called hw2, hw3, etc. Make these folders as needed.
  3. Within each homework folder (hw2, hw3, etc.) your main page has to be called index.html
  4. Within your html folder create a file called homework.html which has a list of links to your homeworks (the index.html files) so that the grader can get to your solution to homework 2 by clicking on a link called homework 2, for example (use relative links).
Note 1: The URL http://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/~loginname/ points into your html directory.
Note 2: All the names of folders and files are lowercase. Though case does not matter for HTML tages, it does matter for URLs, filenames, etc.
Important: Some of the assignments will be incremental: this assignment, for example, builds on the basic web-page of assignment 1. Do not change your files in your old homework directories after the deadline for handing that homework in. If you need those files for a later homework put copies of them into the new homework folder.

Part 2: Personal Web-page

Set up a personal web-page for yourself which fulfills the following minimum requirements:
  • Include a picture of yourself (suggestion: use JPEG). You can scan pictures in the MacLab. The next tutorial will cover scanning and Photoshop.
  • Allow people to email you by clicking on a link.
  • Set the colors for your web-page: background, text and links. Make sure your web-page is readable in your color scheme. You might get away with weird color combinations by increasing the font size, but we suggest you don't.
  • Pick any two subjects of your liking or disliking and include lists of at least 5 links for each.
Organize the material on ONE page using the HTML tags we have covered so far. Use <BLINK> and <MARQUEE> tags at your own discretion, but be warned that the graders might get very emotional about them.
