IT 130 -- Activity 2
Create a Webpage

1. Create and upload an HTML file.
   1. In Notepad, create a file named A2-smith.htm (use your last name). Type in the source code from the example Ex2 (cut and paste is cheating): Ex2 Source Code.

   2. IMPORTANT: Modify the source code so that the page contains information about you, not about Gary. Also, replace all the <strong> and <em> tags by span tags with inline styles to change the beginning of each line to bold and italic.

      Specifically, replace
      <p> <strong><em>
      Favorite Color:
      </strong></em> Blue </p>
      by
      <p> <span style="font-weight:bold; font-style:italic">
      Favorite Color:
      </span> Blue </p>

   3. Add your name, activity name, and submission date at the top of the page.

   4. Save the file with the name A2smith.htm.

   5. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to create a directory named public_html in your home folder in your students account.

   6. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to create a directory named A2 inside public_html.

   7. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to upload the file A2-smith.htm to the folder A2 within public_html in the home directory of your students.depaul.edu account.

   8. Make sure that the permissions of A2smith.htm are read and write for owner, read for group, and read for other.

   9. Make sure that the permissions of the directory public_html are read, write, and execute for owner, read and execute for group, and read and execute for other.

2. Your homepage should now be visible over the web at this URL:
   http://students.depaul.edu/~jsmith/A2/A2smith.htm
   (replace ~jsmith with your username).
    
3. This activity was just for practice, you do not submit it.
