Photo Galleries

It turns out that I can't be at the next class, this Monday, due to a doctor's appointment that I can't cancel (one of those things where he can't see me for two months or so). Sorry about that.

So here's the deal. By WEDNESDAY, I want all of your photo galleries uploaded to your stk accounts. Put them in a folder called "photo_gallery" inside the folder that you already have called "public_html". The main page of your file should be called "index.html" so when I go to your account and type in your address, I get the first page.

If you don't get this done by Wednesday, then the highest possible grade you can get on it is a B. I won't be so lax about this as I have been for the book projects because there are not so many technological issues to contend with.

If I were you, I would come to class on Monday anyway and work on your photo gallery.

The directions for uploading the files to your stk account are on the class blog:

Be sure to upload all of your Dreamweaver pages as well as all of the image files that they refer to. Otherwise I will get a bunch of dead links, etc.

The photo gallery must include the following:
  • a first page that tells the name of the gallery (orat least tells us what it's about)
  • a gallery page of thumbnail images that I can click on to see the larger versions of the photos
  • a contact page that has your contact information
All of these pages must have a menu bar on them, including the individual photo pages. This might be time-consuming, but creating a website is often a bit of drudge work. But the good news is that, the more you practice, the better you get!

Try to make it look pretty.
