Introduction:
The purpose of this lab is for you to take all that you have learned about Web authoring and use it to jazz up your home page as well as give you practice for Project 1, your Web Site of Misinformation.
While there are a few minimum requirements that will need to be met, the important component of this lab is to be creative! In doing this assignment, don’t forget to use the Web as a source of inspiration (and code!). Remember to use the resources available to you in your Web Page Workbook. What you do for this lab will be valuable in making your site of misinformation all the more authentic.
Remember that Project 1, part 2 will be due no later than 12:00 pm (noon), Friday, April 20.
Objectives:
To Do:
Minimum page requirements:
· Change the background color of your page to your favorite color. If you change the color to something dark, you may need to change the font color of your text to a lighter color.
· See if you can use an image as the background of your page.
·
Use the background attribute of the body tag.
<body background="picfilename">
· Any URL related to your Project topic that will “authenticate” your site. These might be links to similar sites of misinformation, OR they might be links to legitimate, credible sites on similar TRUE topics that you want to use to authenticate your project.
