Task

You may have a personal portfolio website for a number of reasons. If you're a freelancer, then you'd need one to showcase your work and allow people to contact you. For a student (or unemployed), then you'd need one to show prospective employers how good you are and what you can do, so that they might hire you. If you're part of a studio, then you might use one to blog about your design life, show people what you're doing and build your online presence.

A personal portfolio website is all about promoting you. You are a brand, and your name is a brand name. No one is going to know about your brand unless you get it out there; and if you're a Web designer, developer, writer, gamer or any other type of creative, then it's essential that you have a good portfolio website.

1. Create a new HTML5 file named index.htm and save it in a folder with your Data Files.

2. Add the appropriate doctype for HTML5 to the beginning of the file.

3. Add a comment to the document head describing the document's content and containing your name and the date.

4. Add an appropriate page title to the document head.

5. Set the character set of the file to UTF-8.

6. Include at least one example of each of the following:

? structural elements such as the header, footer, section and aside elements
? grouping elements including a heading and a paragraph

? an inline image
? a character entity reference or a character encoding number
? ordered or unordered list

7. Include an Internal Style Sheet which provides at least 2 type selectors and a universal selector

8. Structure your HTML5 code so that it's easy for others to read and understand.

9. Save your changes to the file, and then open it in your Web browser to verify that is readable.

10. Upload your files to the web server account you have created on CSU web server. Verify that the web page you have created is linked to your own homepage e.g. http://csusap.csu.edu.au/~student
