Find a free, professionaly made website template. If you search for "free website template" online you will find several providers. Pay attention to the source's requirements about credit and use. Using it for homework should be no problem, but most of them will probably demand that you retain a link to their website as a visible credit.
To avoid the possibility that more than one student will pick the same template: once you choose the one you want to use - list it in [[BTC640/Assignment1-Winter2013Summer2013/Templates | this wiki table]].
= Modify Website Template =
Using the template you chose as a starting point - modify it to have the following pages:
* index.html - This will contain your name, your Seneca ID, a link checklist of everything you've done or not done for this assignment, and links to all the resources you used, and any other relevant information about the assignment.
* news-audio.html - A page with the audio you crated in the following steps.
* news-video.html - A page with the video you crated in the following steps.
= Add Background Music =
Find a music file that you're allowed to copy and distribute. Once you find it - mention that also on the [[BTC640/Assignment1-Winter2013Summer2013/Templates ]] page so no two students use the same one.
Import that file into your Audacity project. The music has to be about 20 seconds longer than your two recordings combined. That means you'll have to delete a good chunk of the song in Audacity.
# An image for your second news item, and text over it with the title of that news item. Duration the same as your second news item.
# For the sound track add the same audio file you exported from Audacity earlier.
 
= news-video.html =
 
Convert the video your created into a format that will play in Firefox. Then add it to your news-video.html using the <video> tag. Do not use YouTube or another online video service to do this step for you.
= Submit =
 
Put your entire website on Matrix, under ~/public_html/some_random_folder_name
 
Make sure that the permissions on your public_html are correct. You can use the command chmod 711 ~/public_html so that people won't know where your assignment is.
 
Submit a zip file named yoursenecaid.zip to Moodle with the following contents:
 
* A text file with a link to the webpage on Matrix
* The Audacity project file
* The Windows Movie Maker project file
 
It's unlikely that your audio/video files will fit in the zip file, since Moodle has an upload limit of 10MB. The project files themselves are very small.
