Overview

You will create a simple Web page on your hometown.

Requirements

Develop a Web page presenting information on your hometown (or neighborhood or street). It should contain the following:

1. A picture of your hometown. For this assignment, you may simply link to an existing photo on the web, but I can help you if you would like to use your own photo.
2. A short description describing your hometown, description of the picture, your life there, etc.
3. At least one link referencing a page for further information.
4. A variety of tags, some using the style property.
5. At least one style property and value that were not presented in class.
6. Learn how to use an HTML comment (this is explanatory text that appears in the source code, but you don't see in the web page). Create an HTML comment that notes the new style property and value you used in your page.

An elegant page with effective writing, clean formatting and a good balance of white space, text and image will merit a high score. Gratuitous animations and other gimmicks will lose points! Your HTML code (source code) should also be neat and well organized.

Deliverables

Your page should be posted on the internet. That is, you will need to transfer your HTML file to the web server at students.depaul.edu. Then, using the D2L submission, tell me the URL of your hometown page. Generally, assignments that are not posted on the internet will incur a 2-point penalty (this penalty will be waived for the first assignment).
