Assignment: SoundSlides, readings

By Friday, please post your autobiographical SoundSlides piece to your web site. Link it off the resume page as a minimum, but it would make a nice "About" link that you could add to your template and have on all your pages.

Think about how you can use the site as a self-promotional piece, how you could use it to sell yourself for a job or internship.

Additionally, for next Tuesday, please read chapters 7, 9 and 10 in the Journalism 2.0 book.

I will be on campus from 8 to 4 or so on Thursday (disappearing around lunch), but will not be here on Friday and unreachable until Sunday afternoon. (Heading off to the boonies.) Stop by if you have issues or expect to.

Mark, I really don't get how to link the soundslides project to our about or resume page...we should have done an example in class....sorry, but mine is going to be late :(

Here's how to do it ...

Take the folder that was named "publish_to_web" (that you've renamed) and move it into the folder with your web site.

Once you've moved it there, launch Dreamwaver and open your site. You should see the folder with your SoundSlides presentation in it. If you don't, click the refresh button (circular arrows to the left).

Now, open your template and build a link to the index.html that's inside the presentation folder.
