Some tips for using the final project templates

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you have any trouble when setting up your final project homepage.

  1. First step, just like it was for our html exercises, is to copy the folder from our class folder to your mysbfiles public_html folder and renaming it something appropriate to your final project.
  2. Do some work on the hompeage before next Monday's class, and get some help from me if you need it.
  3. If you do something to blow out the page and you don't know what it was, here are some options: a) apple-Z your way back, step by step, saving and refreshing your browser to see if you found the problem step you took (combine with option c below, so you can save copy, links you liked); b) note that there are html comments that divide the index page into segments ("begin x section," etc.) - you can grab a clean copy of the template and sub it in for a section you're having problems with, thereby not losing other parts of the page that are working; c) don't be afraid to start over with a clean copy of the template - save-as the page that isn't working, preserving any copy or links you liked, and pasting them into the clean template carefully.
