For the first exercise you should:
- Come to class ready to speak about a website you think is well designed.
- Register as a user on this blog.
- Create an HTML document that contains both a screen capture of and a link to the website you have chosen to discuss and bring it to the next class.
To capture a screeshot:
On a PC press Alt + Print Screen together. This will copy an image of the active window to your clipboard. Paste the image from the clipboard onto a new file in a graphics application like paint.
On a Mac press Shift Command 4, then space to turn the cursor into a camera. Next click on the browser window. This will save an image of the window to the Desktop.
Hi,
I am not sure how to “Create an HTML document that contains both a screen capture of and a link to the website you have chosen” as requested in ex.1
did I miss anything?

You will need to read the first three chapters of the book to learn how to create hyperlinks and place images on webpages.

Hey classmates.
Does anyone know an alternative to capturing a screen shot? Because I have a PC and pressing “Alt” and Print screen together is not working for me.

On XP the directions should work. If you are on Vista take a look here:

I just use the print screen
button all by itself, then open
up mspaint or a program of the sort
and hit paste.
good luck.

If it does not work…go to http://www.download.com or http://www.softonic.com…type screenshot and you’ll have a lot of software to capture images from the screen…

Hi Melissa,
You will have to be a little more specific about your problem. I’m assuming that you have an img tag in your html and are attempting to include the image file using the src attribute. If that is the case it may be that you are getting the path to the file wrong. Try putting the image file in the same folder as html file and setting the src attribute to src=”myfilename.jpg” where myfilename.jpg is the name of your file.

I have been trying different methods of putting the img in my html document but it’s not working. Is there a tag we add to the image at the end when we save it? -Erica Coca
