  6. Project Timeline September October November Dec. Personal Project Page Exercises Web Genre Analysis Web UA Site To do well, you’ll need to be consistently writing and revising throughout the semester. Plan for 2 hours or so outside of class for each hour in class WebSolutions Group Project

  7. Grab the Personal Project Page Template 1. Go to the course home page and look under “Recent Class Materials.” I’ll frequently post materials here. 2. Click the link to view the template in the browser. 3. Go back to the home page and right-click on the link to download the source file to your desktop. It is called “ptemplate.html”

  8. Turning Your Projects in… Set up a personal project page. A website where you’ll post your projects, big and small. http://www.msu.edu/~hartdav2/wa.html

  9. Web Space? You have access to an account provided by MSU– your AFS Space. http://www.msu.edu/~your_msunet_id To put stuff there, FTP to ftp.msu.edu and store files in the directory called public_html; Or, in a networked lab, map the drive and navigate to your public_html directory Did that last bit of jargon confuse you?

  10. Try it now… Post your project page in your AFS space. • Make a new folder inside the public_html folder; call it “wa” • Drag the file called ptemplate.html into it • Now go to the course page and click on the link with your name in the Student Pages box…
