website drafts & help sessions

I wanted to remind everyone about the personal website draft, which is due tomorrow (Tuesday, April 6). As I said in class on Thursday, we are being flexible about this due date because everyone is at a different stage in learning Dreamweaver, HTML, and CSS. I will accept drafts through the end of this week’s Thursday evening help session (see below for details).

At the very least you should come to class tomorrow with a draft of the website “copy” (the written text—resume, biography, etc.) that you will use on each page of your site. If you do not have any pages built yet, bring your text as a word document on your flash drive. In class tomorrow, we will continue to work on our sites, and I will show you how to upload your draft site to our course web server.

Do not forget about the draft reflection paper! (see the assignment page for details)

Three important things for this week:

• If you do not want your site to go live at the draft stage you can burn your site folder onto a CD and turn it in that way.
• Tomorrow before class I will create a subdomain for each of you to use for your website. I will use your full first and last name for your subdomain unless you email me to tell me that you would like something else. My subdomain would look like this: <http://carrielamanna.writingonlineatcsu.net> Yours will have your name, of course. If you have your own server space and do not need a subdomain, email me to let me know.
• I will hold evening web design help sessions Tuesday and Thursday this week from 5:30-7:00 pm in our classroom (Eddy 2). I will accept website drafts through the end of the Thursday work session so that those who want to get more help before submitting a draft can do so.
