The body of the personal home page should have your name and
e-mail address. Make use of the available headings to give a professional appearance to
your page. The e-maildress should include a "hot link," so that any person with
proper settings in their browser should be able to send you a message directly from your
home page.
Following your name and e-mail address, you should have a section
describing yourself. You might entitle it "About Me." In this section you should include
links to the WWW page for this class, the MIS Area, the School of Business Administration
and the University of Missouri - St. Louis. State your education background, and include a link to other colleges and universities you have attended. If you are employed, state
where you work, and include a link to the company home page if it exists. You may
then include any additional information you would like to share with us
(remembering that the page can be accessed by anyone in the world). If there are sites related to this
information, include a link to them.
The next section should include information about your interests,
hobbies, etc.; you might entitle it "My Interests and Favorite Links." Search the Web and
find pages which relate to your interests. You must include at least four more links of
your choice.
Another section should include information about your
professional interests. This might be technological pages you believe to be interesting. Or, it might
include information of interest to your current employer, job or industry. You must
include at least four more links in this area.
Your personal home page file should be named "index.htm" or
"index.html." If you created the page in Windows, you will need to transfer it to the html
directory on your Admiral account. This directory is the public directory. You can do this
transfer using the FTP program demonstrated in class. However, remember
that every time you make changes to your page in Windows, you must transfer the page again to your
Admiral account.
You can use my sample page as a reference to how to do your home
page. Of course, you are free to add more and make your page more "cool." After you
create your home page, ensure that all of the links are working properly. Once your page
has passed the final quality check, send me an email message providing me with the
location of your page. On the due date, print a copy of your home page and turn it in. Some
helpful pages are available for reference.
