Assignments: Web Posting, Audio Editing

Two things to have done by 5 p.m. Friday, February 1:

Web Site: Please have your web site posted to your UGA location. Your main page needs to be saved as "index.html" in order for it to work right. (Browsers will default to displaying it if the URL is incomplete.)  You should have two pages - a main/home page and a resume page, designed off a template with text handled by CSS.

Audio File: Email to me an MP3 file of your dining hall/restaurant sounds. Aim for 30-60 seconds in length. After doing your edits, go to File -> Export as MP3. Make sure you know when you're saving it to. 

A note on Audacity: It does not like to have the project files moved around, so try to get this all done in one sitting.

If you want to do this at home, you can download Audacity from the web. Please follow the instructions carefully - in addition to the main program, there is a "LAME" plug-in you need. Not only do you need to download that, but you also need to go into Audacity's preferences and tell it where the plug-in is. Info is on the site. (Click on "Other Downloads" to get to Windows versions.)

TEST your file before emailing it to me. Nothing is worse then sending out digital stuff that's busted.

Email me or drop by if you have questions or concerns, I'm around almost all the time.
