  9. Logistics Do the tutorial on the disk I give you View intermediate versions on your computer Host the finished version on aurora: • make a subdirectory of public_html called tutorial.01 (use the mkdir button) • connect to the subdirectory (click on the subdirectory) • transfer all files included in the pages • view your results at http://aurora.wells.edu/~you/tutorial.01/chem.htm Ask for help early and often if anything is unclear

  10. Miscellaneous Try not to use anything that notes "This is supported by IE/Netscape but not Netscape/IE Appendix D lists all HTML tags—if it is just in Netscape or IE, don't use it Tutorial 2 tags will allow you to put links to your assignments on your home page Go over next week assignments Questions: email me, I am almost always near mail
