Week One - Create a Simple Web Page
The code has to be barebones text only. If you are using Microsoft Word, save in text-only format but change the extension from .txt to .html. You cannot use Textedit (macintosh) for an editor because it adds conversion code and will not save as just text. A barebones text editor, TextWrangler, is available in the RCADE lab and at http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/
Paste this line at the top of your page:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
