Template for Student Web Pages
Please use the following template for your animal information pages.
Download this page (using the File/ SaveAs command) and then, using the
Netscape Communicator Page Composer (or any HTML editor) simply replace
the title and text information with that for the animal you have chosen.
hello
Select one or more images from the image gallery
and copy their URLs into the image field. It is not necessary to copy the
image file into your own folder. Page Composer will allow you to adjust
the image size as needed. Off-site images may be used only with the permission
of their owners; if these come from other web sites, the source URLs must
be given. In such images, the owner of the image and the source URL must
be included immediately below the image.
You need not follow the page organization of this template, if you wish
to construct something more imaginative, but you should include all the
information categories indicated below. For other ideas about the layout
of your page, you might look at the animal pages at other Zoo
Web Sites. There are many tutorials on the web that will help you with
HTML and graphics: Here are two of them, one for HTML
and one for graphics.
Your completed page should include enough information for about 2-3
printed pages. You can view your work in progress from your folder on the
WhoZoo site; when your page is completed, and approved, I will link it
to the appropriate "Animal Information" page.
