Assignment #2
Create Tony's Web Page
Due: September 21
In the HTML 08 lesson and quiz, you created an outline of Tony's Web page. Now all you need to do is create the corresponding HTML to represent the page, and fill in Tony's text.
Before you begin, remember that every Web page needs to start with the <html> element and include the <head> and <body> elements.
Now that you know what "building blocks" make up each part of the page, you can translate this blueprint directly into HTML.
Instructions
- Create a new folder inside your student folder. Name it with your last name (e.g. pedersen). This is your root folder for this Web page.
- Create an images folder inside of the root folder.
- Save the images in the green panel on the left into the images folder (right-click, Save Target As...).
- Call your new HTML file "index.html" and save it in the root folder.
- Code the HTML for the "index.html" page.
- Use this text as the <title> of the Web page: My Trip Around the USA on a Segway.
- Remember that the <img> elements will need relative paths in the src attribute.
- Test your page in a browser.
Here's the text from Tony's journal that you may cut and paste into your HTML file:
Segway'n USA
Documenting my trip around the US on my very own Segway!
August 20, 2005
Well I made it 1200 miles already, and I passed through some interesting places on the way: Walla Walla, WA, Magic City, ID, Bountiful, UT, Last Chance, CO, Why, AZ and Truth or Consequences, NM.

I saw some Burma Shave style signs on the side of the road today: "Passing cars, When you can't see, May get you, A glipse, Of eternity." I definitely won't be passing any cars.
June 2, 2005
My first day of the trip! I can't believe I finally got everything packed and ready to go. Because I'm on a Segway, I wasn't able to bring a whole lot with me: cellphone, iPod, digital camera, and a protein bar. Just the essentials. As Lao Tzu would have said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one Segway."
