CSCE 101 Lab Project
Spring 2007
Sections 4, 5, and 7
Due Date: April 5, 2007
Topic Selection Due: March 9, 2007
Project Overview:
You will create a personal Web site to be displayed through your allotted CSE Web space. Your site will be
accessed and graded through your on-campus URL (http://cl.engr.sc.edu/~username). You must ensure that
all of your pages and images can be accessed properly from your URL. The project will incorporate new
CSS style properties and HTML elements. Your Web site must have a professional format suitable for
public display and must not contain any offensive material. Avoid excessively busy background images and
“flashy” animations, which make viewing and grading sites difficult. Late work will not be accepted.
Step 1: Topic Selection
Your Web site will incorporate three pages, each of which must be about a different topic. You must name
the files you create as indicated below.
Biography Page (index.html): This page must include biographical information about you such as DOB,
hometown, family, etc.
Interests Page (page2.html): This page must be about your interests such as hobbies, favorite artist(s),
causes (e.g. human rights, conservation), or groups to which you belong (e.g. Greek and honor societies).
Tech Topic Page (page3.html): This page must be about a computer-related topic selected from the list
below. For the topic you select, you must provide a well-rounded overview of the topic such as what the
topic is about, its applications, pros and cons, and challenges it may be facing. The information you present
must be a summary of your findings in your own words with limited direct quotes. All quotations must be
clearly shown as a quotation and must be clearly referenced.
FTA (free to air)
slingboxes (remote streaming)
GPS
W3C
web widgets
Step 2: Adding Styles
You are required to use internal cascading style sheets for this project. Refer to the Web design handout for
information on how to create style sheets. Each of your four pages must have an internal style sheet with
style property values different than your other pages. In other words, each page must have a distinct color
and formatting scheme. You may not use external style sheets, local styles, and conventional HTML
formatting instead of internal style sheets. The specific formatting requirements are listed under General
Requirements for All Pages.
Step 3: Adding Content
Once you have set up your Web site’s pages and styles, it is time to add content. You may use pages or
content that you have composed for previous assignments as long as they fulfill the requirements for the
project. Each page must contain at least five paragraphs that are at least eight sentences long. Sentences
must be of reasonable length (more than 10 words on average). Below are the specific requirements for
each page.
