This Spring, we will focus on writing and critiquing e-essays about place/locale/geography and issues thereunto appertaining. We will divide our time between the "grammar" of HTML (how to execute various things) and the "rhetoric" of using those things in web pages. /Ideally/ you should know:

* how to read the source of an HTML page
* how to set colors and fonts on a page
* how to insert an image in a page
* what Cascading Style Sheets are and how they connect to a page

GRAMMAR: Some of the more advanced bits we will use include:

* CSS layout, including
o elastic and liquid layout
o positioning and floating DIVs and other elements
* Javascript for
o sizing and positioning secondary windows
o hidden/visible popups
o multilinks
* Conditional CSS, CSS imagemaps

RHETORIC: Major general design issues include:

* finding/retrieving vs. exploring/discovering
* reliability vs. magic
* control vs. cooperation
