Work 06: Stuylin' and Profilin'
Due: Wednesday 2/12 10:00 am
Submission Name: hello_style.css
Skills For Friday’s Exam: 26, 27, 28, 29
CSS Time
Create a css file called
hello_style.css
in your web repository. This will be a style file used on your webpage forhello.html
(from work_04).- In this file you must set at least one css property for each element in
hello.html

and anything inhead
). - This file should have at least one example for each of the properties in this table.
- Add your css file to the html file
hello.html
.
Notes About Working From Home
- Your home computer is probably not set up as a webserver, this is fine, but it means you’ll have to work a little differently than at school. First off, you will need a text editor and a web browser. I suggest pulsar as your text editor. You must use a plain text editor, so something like word or google docs is NOT acceptable.
- Open your HTML and CSS files in your text editor, this is where you will edit them.
- Also open your HTML (not the CSS, it will be included via the HTML file) in your web browser. Open it via the Open File option in the File menu of your browser. The address bar will start with:
file:///
followed by the path to your HTML file. - As you edit your CSS, reload the HTML file in the browser. You may need to do a force reload (on firefox, that’s ctrl-shift-r)
- In this file you must set at least one css property for each element in

Work 05: Enlighten Us
Due: Monday 2/10 10:00 am
Submission Name: subject.html
Helpful resources:
Make a web page for something about which you are knowledgeable (could be anything, an academic subject, sport, music, theater, movie, comic …). The page should not be an exhaustive report on the subject, but provide some information in a coherent framework. Your page should include the following parts:
- A main title/heading
- heading element:
<h1>
- heading element:
- A table of contents made of an unordered list.
- list element:
<ul>
and<li>
- You should have at least 3 sections listed.
- list element:
- Sections of text that correspond to each element in the table of contents.
Notes:
- You may be tempted to do things to modify the look of your page. Do not. Focus on the structure of the page, for that is what HTML is designed to do. We will work on making pages look fancy using CSS, at which point you can go nuts
- A main title/heading

Work 04: Hello Again
Due: Friday 2/7 10:00 am
Submission Name: hello.html
Helpful resources:
- Table of common elements from notes
- I’ve also included links to documentation for each tag you need to use below.
- Best practices for writing html from notes
- The default text editor (which works well for html) on the school computers can be opened using
$ xed
.
Write a real Web Page
Write a simple html file, properly formatted (which means include the non-visible html tags like
DOCTYPE
html
head
andbody
), that uses the following elements (you can include others if you’d like):- heading:
<h1>
- anchor (link):
<a>
- list:
<ul>
and<li>
- image:
<img>
Submission Notes
Make sure your page is in your
public_html
directory on your school computer and added to your github repository as well. If you work on this from home, you’ll need to get your work intopublic_html
at school. How can you do that? Via the command line of course!scp
stands for secure copy and can be used to send files over the internet using the ssh protocol.- Open your terminal program (extra tip for those using gitbash below).
- Use
cd
to navigate to the directory that contains your file. - Use
scp
to send the file.$ scp FILE USERNAME@homer.stuy.edu:public_html/
Will uploadFILE
into yourpublic_html
directory.- Example:
$ scp hello.html dw@homer.stuy.edu:public_html/
- If this is the first time you are using
scp
orssh
to connect to homer (which it probably is), you will get a warning that starts with:The authenticity of host 'homer.stuy.edu (149.89.150.100)' can't be established.
, respond to the question withyes
. - Next you will be prompted for your password.
- Then the file will be transferred.
- You can test that the transfer was successful by loading your webpage in a browser.
- You can also do this processs in reverse to copy the file from school to your home computer.
$ scp USERNAME@homer.stuy.edu:public_html/FILE ./
Will downloadFILE
into your current directory (./
).- Example:
$ scp dw@homer.stuy.edu:public_html/hello.html ./
If you’re using gitbash, the easiest way to make sure you’re in the correct directory is to right click on the directory in your GUI and select “Open in gitbash”. This should open a new Gitbash terminal and immediately set your working directory correctly.

Work 01: Highway to the Danger Zone
Due: Monday 2/03 10:00 am
Unfortunately, I will be out today, but have no fear! You can continue getting used to the command line by following theses easy steps:
- Open up the terminal on your computer.
- If you’re at home, you can do the following to get a terminal:
- MacOS: You should already have a program called
terminal
, search for it on your computer and open it. It will look very much like the terminal program on the school computers. - Windows: Download and install gitbash. It will provide you with a program that will also work very much like the terminal on the school computers.
- ChromeOS (I only just discovered this and have not tested it out yet). Looks like you can enable a terminal if you follow the instructions here: https://chromeos.dev/en/productivity/terminal
- Read the first two chapters (
BasicsandManipulating Files) in Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous. As you read you will learn about a number of command line features and utilities, some of which you used while playing bashcrawl. Try things out! If you feel like you’ve ended up in a strange place in the terminal you can always try the following:$ cd
: This will change you into your home directory, useful if you runcd
too many times and you don’t know where you are anymore.- CTRL-c: This should immediately quit the current active command, useful if it seems like the terminal is no longer responding.
- Quit the terminal program: If all else fails, start anew!
- Open up the terminal on your computer.
