Web Publishing Tools

1. Each web page must include the "DOCTYPE" declaration at the beginning indicating you used HTML 4.0 Transitional.
2. Your web pages must include meta tags with appropriate keywords and descriptions.
3. Each web page must have a title.
4. Include at least ten hypertext links in your project. At least three of the links must be internal and three must be to a reference outside your own web page.
5. Insert graphics at least ten times in your project.
6. Each graphic must include the "alt" tag.
7. Each page must have a margin, using either tables or style sheets to achieve the space.
8. If you use any multimedia, you must include a description that describes it for the visually impaired. If it is an audio file you must include a caption or transcript.
9. If you use frames you must provide a "no frames" alternative.
10. If you include a form on your page, there must be an access key alternative for entering the fields.
11. The majority of your pages should be less than 30k. A few can be 30 to 50k. Only one or two can be larger, and there must be a clear reason for the large size.
12. Your page must not crash my computer.
13. You must submit at least three of your pages to the W3C html validation service and turn in the report. To receive an "A" for this course, you must be able to display the "html 4" icon from W3C on at least three pages.

(Note: some sites, such as Yahoo/Geocities, add their own code to pages posted on their server. This code may prevent your page from validating. You will not be faulted for such mistakes by sloppy and thoughtless servers. If the W3C report shows that only the Geocities code for their gif is the problem you will still get an "A".)

14. You must submit at least three of your pages to the Bobby validation service and turn in the report.
