Assignment 3

From , former About.com Guide

For this lesson you need to set up your biography page. Begin by deciding on how you want to set up the page. Where do you want to place things and what do you want to include on the page?

Then create a design. Decide on the color theme and the background. Then decide which pages you want to link to and where you want to place the links. Then create your links.

Next, write a compelling biography that will hook any reader and get them to go on and read more. Tell them all about you. Don't leave out the important things, the unusual things and the popular things about you.

Post your diaries here! Let others see what you have done so far and get opinions and criticisms. Getting advice from others is the best way to create a great site.
