Posted Friday 10/19/2007 3:54 PM

Be sure to check your project for these last-minute issues:

  1. Accurate use of the <title> tag on all pages
  2. Use of one CSS file for ALL pages
  3. No image resizing via the height and width properties on the image tag
  4. No broken/incorrect internal links or images
  5. Use of XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD
  6. Validating XHTML according to http://validator.w3.org

Turn-In Guidelines

Send instructor one email containing:

  1. The URL of your website
  2. Your self-critique memo as email text
  3. As attachments, JPGs or PNGs of your screen captures

The subject line of the email should read “Firstname Lastname - Project 1.”

For help with screen captures on Mac, check http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X; for Windows, check http://www.seoconsultants.com/windows/print-screen/. You only need to do a capture of one page from your site as it is visible in each browser’s viewport. (Obviously, do captures of the same page in each browser).
