You may craft something other than a CV as long as your page meets the assignment criteria.
Please request approval asap, either in class or in a 20-40 word email explaining your proposed page's purpose.
You need only post your resume, but you are encouraged to update and enhance your personal cyberspace.

Guidelines for your resume:

  • Submit a printed copy listing your URL at the end of Wednesday's class.
  • If you have no personal cyberspace, try free or Yahoo Geocities.
  • Include at least two active external links.
  • Omit your phone number and mailing address.
  • Link to your e-mail address, not your name.
  • Reflect on adding your picture.
  • Add to your source code:
    • title
    • meta name "keywords"
    • meta name "description"
    • ALT tags for images

You'll find Web design resources here:
You should have an html editor such as Microsoft Front Page, Dreamweaver or Netscape Composer on your laptop
You should avoid:
  • horizontal scrolling on a 800 x 6000 screen
  • copying from Word and pasting into FrontPage
  • converting Word or Publisher documents via "Save As Html"
  • Microsoft FrontPage themes
  • underlining and blue text (why?)
  • complicated technologies that limit access
  • frames, animation and flash

Positive feedback on past assignments includes:
  • Great use of meta-tags.
  • Clean resumes with crisp copy.
  • Good use of anchors/bookmarks.
  • Most used one - three simple fonts.
  • Some used the latest design tools without going overboard.

Suggestions on past assignment include:
  • Go easy with colours, backgrounds and images.
  • Remember the target audience. This is a CV, not a "my favourite things" page.
  • Less text is often better than more text.
  • Think other layouts than align left and tons of vertical scrolling.
  • For long pages, include a bookmark/anchor back to the top.
  • Personality is good, but don't go overboard.
  • Double check how your page prints and appears on different monitors, browsers, screen resolutions and operating platforms.
  • Double check your links and images on someone else's computer.
  • For long pages, include a bookmark/anchor back to the top.
