Personal page design

Your personal page must contain at the very least the following features:

  • an image
  • a brief statement about yourself
  • copyright information
  • the following links:
    • email
    • course page
    • at least 3 pages that you visit often

The document definition for your page should be:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

All images that you use on your web page, if they are not your own, can only be used with permission of the artist or photographer, unless otherwise noted. You can download free images from stock.xcnhg and FreeFoto without getting permission from the photographer.

Be sure to save your home page as "index.html" and upload it to your webspace, preferably in a folder for our class. Do not use a WYSiWYG, like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. You must code the page by hand using HTML-kit for PC users, Taco for Mac users, or another HTML editor.

Please see the CWRL guide to using Webspace, if you need help.

The sample we discussed in class is available at

After completing your home page, you should add a link to it in your student profile here. Just log into our course site, go to your student profile and you will see an edit tab right under its title.
