Personal Midterm Site (14 January 2005)
Create a web site about a place that you've lived--and you can interpret that very broadly. Place the site in its own directory within your 409 directory (e.g. www/409/midterm/ ), with its own index.html file. It should have a minimum of five pages.
Divide the content up into appropriate "chunks" of information, and design the site in a way that enhances the presentation of the content. This means you need to think about how to break it up, how to label it, how to navigate through it, keeping in mind who your audience is. I will be evaluating the quality of your content, as well as your information organization and navigation.
Use CSS for text formatting and layout. While you may use inline and document-based styles, I would also like you to create a linked style sheet that controls formatting for some aspect(s) of all of the pages in the assignment.
Include a link to an annotated version of your external CSS (not just a link to the CSS itself, but to an HTML document that has the contents of the CSS along with annotations explaining what the various rules accomplish).
You can assume I'll be using a current generation browser to view your pages, but don't assume that it will be IE, or that it will be a specific hardware platform.
Grading will be based on the following components:
- Content (quality of writing/ presentation, depth of content, organization of content)
- Design (visual design principles, navigation)
- CSS (external CSS, inline only where appropriate, text formatting, positioning)
- Clean, standards-compliant XHTML and CSS
- Documentation (annotated CSS, appropriately commented code)
The site must be online by 9am on Friday, January 14th.

The weblog says Friday, January 8th, and there is no January 8th on Friday.
Thanks

Posted by: Kevin Sweeney on January 14, 2005 6:18 PM | Permalink to CommentKevin, I really don't know where you get off for saying something like that?
I just looked at everyones page that posted or trackbacked to this post and nothing is conclusivly similiar to your page... in fact, many aren't even close.
If anything, you should realize that your design that you used is cliche enough where just about anyone who does any web work has done, or does do, something similar.
Perhaps when you implement something that is unique, you may have the claim to accuse others of copying code and/or design, but nothing in your page shows that you have done anything unique or groundbreaking in design. So please, save us all a little bandwidth and don't post silly accusations that are unfounded.

Everything's been set straight now. I asked for credit and got just that, and talked with Liz so everything's cool.
