12. RELATIVE LINKS Both files on same level: filename.ext Folder on same level as your file: foldername/filename.htm Link to a folder one level up:../foldername/filename.htm Therefore, if you named your files and folders as recommended, your link to Chapter 2 Case Study would be: Chapter 2 Case Study For Example: For Example: Example

13. Practice for Chapter 3: Assume that you are a freelance web designer and need to create a website to promote your freelance company.

14. Practice for Chapter 3 (continued) 1.Use dummy text from www.blindtextgenerator.com to create 3 pages for: Home | About Us | Portfolio HINT: For each page, you will “save as” www.blindtextgenerator.com 2.Link the pages together if not done yet. 3.If you finish early: - find a few pictures from your site, or - choose a color scheme as mentioned in slide #11 4.Finally, we will create a stylesheet together. Steps to begin: 1.Create folder called “freelance” 2.Create the first page as template.htm. In addition to the basic HTML tags, the only other elements we’ll use on all pages are: div for the wrapper, nav, footer, and link to CSS.
