Today’s topic is Project Planning, and then time to work on the CSS framework and your website that is due next Tuesday. Don't forget to try to FTP some files.

The process that we are going to discuss today comes from Web Redesign: Workflow That Works. Note that while this is about re-designing, it has become a standard that is “easily adaptable to new Web design projects,” to quote a review in Technical Communication.

Note that there is a similar set of steps at December.com. Remember that the sites need to be posted to the Web so that I can pull them up. You might want to try Filezilla and FTP a test page to alpha.lasalle.edu if you have not tried that for a while (password is the Social Security one: 12345_abc).For later, here are some details and extra tips on that in my Posting Tips.

Some other tips and suggestions:

1. Each page is a separate html file. Relative links are then simply
   <a href="resume.html">.
2. Consider creating a separate links page that annotates those links.
3. Your site should have at least 300 words of text.
4. Try the TARGET="_blank" and TITLE="Stuff written here" attributes for your links and also for your images (works better than alt="blah blah" in some browsers).
5. Follow the CSS we did in class (now on USB only) based on the textbook file—you should have these basics down by now
6. If your grid from the previous assignment is not working, look back at the Adobe page or my float example (that includes a footer).
