HTML & CSS

  • Add the copyright symbol, the year, your name, and a functioning back to top link in the footer.

Content

  • Answer the three questions in the content area. The second question requires you to edit the html. I will be grading the source code so make sure you mark this up in the code instead of the visual editor.
  • Download and insert the following image into the content area of your page. Use CSS to float the image to the right, place a border around the image, and add margin around the image.

Validate

  • Validate your html and add the w3c badge centered at the bottom of the page outside the container.

Upload and send me the URL (tswallace@ualr.edu). Make sure you do not overwrite your existing site!

Good Luck!
