HTML/CSS assignments

To assist your instructors in locating and properly identifying your HTML/CSS assignments, please observe the following guidelines:

Upload your HTML/CSS assignments to your personal account on Obdurodon, where they must go into your public_html subdirectory (not in your main personal directory).
HTML files must be valid HTML5 using XML syntax, as described at the top of our HTML basics guide.
CSS must be associated with the HTML using the HTML association method (the <link> element), as described in the Attaching CSS to HTML section of our Introduction to CSS.
Filenames must consist of your surname in lower-case letters followed by a hyphen followed by the digit 1 (for HTML/CSS assignment #1) or 2 (for HTML/CSS assignment #2), etc. For example, Barack Obama’s first assignment would include obama-1.xhtml and obama-1.css. Since the instructors need to know what filenames to look for, these assignments must observe these filenaming conventions exactly.
HTML/CSS assignment #2 is to enhance your assignment #1. So that we can tell them apart, don’t just edit your first assignment to create the second. Make copies of the HTML and CSS files from your first assignment, rename them to change the 1 to a 2, and then edit and upload the copies.
