Edit your Homework 1 assignment and save as a new file such as lastnamefirstnamehw2.html, replacing lastname and firstname with your name.

Edit your Homework 2 assignment and save as a new file such as lastnamefirstnamehw3.html, replacing lastname and firstname with your name.

Add paragraphs using lists to your document, similar to the in-class quiz. Experiment with different types of images, fonts, and styles.

1. Demonstrate your knowledge of linking and images:
Your page should have an additional 3 to 5 links as follows:
• One link takes you to another page (a real page) out on the Web.
• Another link jumps you down the page to a specific paragraph. Remember, your page will have to be long enough that it actually has somewhere to jump to!
• A third link should link to an e-mail address (preferably your own!)
• And finally, turn an image into a link. I must be able to click the image and have it take me to some real Web site. You can use any image you'd like. Please turn off the border on the image!
• Save the file and any related graphics and upload to the Foothill web server. Test in your browser and correct any filename problems.
