LIS 390W1A - Exercise: More CSS Practice

For this lab, create two different CSS layouts that are theme-based for a page in your personal website assignment. I suggest that one be Halloween themed, and that the second be one of the following: a different holiday; an emotion, such as angry, happy or sad; or some other kind of theme, such as pirates, space travel, romantic getaway, etc. Feel free to be creative in picking the theme, and have fun with this assignment! If you wish, you may pick a different webpage you have created.

Make sure you run the pages through the Functional Accessibility Evaluator and make them as accessible as possible. You should definitely be scoring over 50% in each of the main categories; scoring over 95% is better. The main one that will give you trouble is the Navigation & Orientation Section.

You may find using the sample HTML and CSS pages I created in class useful as reference for the box model. Remember, right click on the links in this paragraph and select "save target as..." or whatever the appropriate text is.

To turn in your assignment, please post it to the Personal Webpage Assignment Forum.

This way your fellow students can see what you've done, and get some ideas for their own pages. Please feel free to comment on other people's pages, ask them how they did something, etc. And please ask me for help, if you need it.

Please make sure that you have created seperate links for these two pages so that they do not disappear when you continue work on your Personal Webpage Assignment.
