Project Checkpoint

You should create most of the pages you included in your diagram of webpages. You do not need to have the content completed for all the pages, but they should be linked together correctly and include at least the information in your project outline. You must include at least one link to a chart, figure, or image in your pages for the project checkpoint. The purpose of the checkpoint is to make sure your html format is readable, that your links to images and between pages work correctly, and to resolve any web-related problems before reviewing your final project submission.

The project checkpoint is due no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, November 22. Please follow the directions below when assembling your project webpages.

Creating a Project Directory (this should already be done)

You need to create a specific directory in your acpub public_html directory to place all files related to your project. Do not for any reason name the directory anything else than what is specified here or change the capitalization of the names. This location is where you should place the files for your completed project as well.

In your acpub public_html directory, create a cps1 subdirectory (if you don't already have one). Change into the cps1 directory, and make a subdirectory named project. Your directory path should look like this (with your own login, instead of login, and t and l replaced by the first two letters of your login):
```
      /afs/acpub.duke.edu/users/t/l/login/public_html/cps1/project
```
If you are working in a group, select one member to do this.
All files related to your project must be in this directory. This includes all .html files you created and any other files you may use (such as image or sound files). Copy and/or upload all your files here.
The main page of your project should be named index.html.

Links

It is very important that all your links work properly. Any files in your ~/public_html/cps1/project directory that are linked through a different HTML page should be formatted as relative links. Example of a relative link: Your main HTML page is named index.html and contains a link to the file introduction.html. Both of these files are in the same directory and your link should be relative. The HTML code should look as follows:

<a href="introduction.html">Introduction</a>

If you are linking to a HTML page that is not in your directory but out somewhere on the WWW then your link should be absolute.

Example of an absolute link: If you are including a link to DigitalDivide.org, the HTML code should look as follows:

<a href="http://www.digitaldivide.org">DigitalDivide.org</a>

You should not have absolute links to your own WWW directory in any of your files.

Proofreading

Open a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape) and go to the URL (replace login with your login):

http://www.duke.edu/~login/cps1/project

Open your main .html file and check it out. Verify that all your formatting is correct and your links work properly.

Note: If you name the main page of your project index.html, it will appear automatically when you go to the above URL.

Turning It In

Using Notepad (or equivalent), you need to create a readme.txt file containing the following information:

Your name(s)
Your login(s)
The URL where your project files are located (replace login with your acpub login):
```
http://www.duke.edu/~login/cps1/project
```

Place this file in your project directory with the other files. You mail a copy of this file to the instructor as notification that your "checkpoint" is ready for evalutaion. If you are working in a group, you need to send only one message.
