CSS and Typography: In-Class Exercise (16 September 2004)
Select a poem that you like from the "Verse" section of Bartleby.com.
Use CSS to modify the appearance of the poem.
Use Dean Allen's Textile tool to generate valid HTML entities for punctuation, as needed.
When you're done, upload the html file (and external CSS, if you used one) to your Grace account, and add an entry to your class weblog with a link to the page. If you don't already have a category set up in your weblog for in-class exercises you should add one--that will let me view your in-class work easily at the end of the quarter when I'm assessing participation.
