Topic: Veteran Support Group

You must write the code files by hand for all assignments in this class. A simple text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++ will suffice. DO NOT use web page programs, such as FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc. You must write the code for your web pages yourself.

Make sure all of your web pages comply with the HTML 5 standards. DO NOT use deprecated (outdated) tags and attributes from previous versions of HTML. By including the HTML 5 DOCTYPE declaration in your webpages, and validating all of your HTML files, you can be sure that your code complies with HTML 5.

Create your file(s) using a text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++, and name the main page (home page of your website) “LastFirstAssignment1.html” where “Last” is your last name and “First” is your first name. For example, if your name is John Smith, you would name your main file SmithJohnAssignment1.html

This assignment requires a minimum of one HTML file. If you wish to create more than one page to the website you are creating this week, you may submit additional files. Just make sure that the main file is named according to the above guidelines.

You are not required to create a CSS style sheet for this assignment (we will begin learning CSS3 in next week’s lessons). However, if you wish to include a CSS style sheet, you may. However, make sure that any CSS style sheets you include adhere to the CSS3 standards and pass validation.

You are encouraged to test all of your web pages at the W3C mobile OK Checker. Keep in mind that all pages of your website must pass validation on the W3C mobile OK Checker when you submit your website for the Final Project at the end of Week 8. Therefore, if you can test your pages each week and begin correcting any errors that you find, you will have less work to do during the final week of the course to ensure your web pages pass validation on the W3C mobile OK Checker before submitting

Instructions:

Create an informative web page about any topic that interests you. Make sure that you write the content (the paragraphs of information about your topic) yourself. Do not copy content from other web pages. Your web page should contain at least 4-6 paragraphs of information, arranged in a logical manner (appropriately using headings and sub-headings, as well as HTML5 structure elements). Do not re-use webpages or webpage content that you have already used for a grade in a previous course, such as WEBD121. Although the skills you gained in other courses will give you a good foundation to build upon in this class, you are expected to create original work for this course, using new content and new code that you learn in this course. Use this as an opportunity to teach me something new about a topic which you are knowledgeable about!

Your web page must include all of the following:

Contains the HTML 5 DOCTYPE declaration
Correctly uses html, head, and body tags
Includes charset, author, keywords, and description meta tags
Use title tags to give your page an appropriate title
In the body section of your document, include at least 5 of the 7 HTML5 structure elements in Table 1-2 of Lesson 1 of your textbook. Be sure to use each structure element correctly, containing information appropriate for that type of structure element.
Include an image on your page.
Include at least 4-6 paragraphs of meaningful content on your page.
Validate your file and fix any errors that the validator identifies before submitting your web page.
