Assignment Two
In this assignment you will add content to your web page:
Theme Pictures --
Acquire them from the web or use your own digital camera to take theme pictures
If you choose to take your own pictures, it takes time to take them and turn them into something you can use on your website. So start now !!
Text --
You need to create a basic text sequence discussing the theme of your website. Include somewhere in your discussion:
  • Heading Tags -- For example, your website theme can be a heading
  • Two text attributes -- an example is the bold tag
  • An unordered list which might list things you would like to do with your site. Hint: It might look a lot like the list your are reading right now
Use Firefox to Debug Your Web Pages --
Even if your aren't using Firefox to view your website while you are creating it, you should use it to debug all of your pages.

While on any page of your website, right-click anywhere on the page EXCEPT an image (if you right-click on image you won't get the expected result) -- select the option View Page Source. What you will see is the code you have written for that particular page. If there is any red code showing, there is a problem. (**NOTE** -- there are certain entities (if you use them) that will show up in orange. These are not a problem. Entities are things like non-breaking spaces ( ), double quotes (<), and others)

Keep in mind using this as a debugging tool is not exact. What you see in red may not be the exact problem. The problem is most likely above the red code. So this will give you the opportunity to find your errors before submitting your assignments for grading.
Before next class, complete the process to get your website on your server.
Use the FTP client software demonstrated in the first class to upload your initial index page to your website on the server.

Using Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, type your URL into the browser(s) and verify your web page works and looks the way you are expecting it to. If it does not look right in all browsers, you are not done yet.

Remember your first web page will be called index.html (all lower case)
