The workshop contains quiz questions and activities to help you solidify your understanding of the material covered. Try to answer all questions before looking at the "Answers" section that follows.
If you publish a page about puppy adoption, how could you help make sure that the page can be found by people who enter puppy, dog, and/or adoption at all the major Internet search sites?
Suppose you recently moved a page from http://mysite.com/oldplace/thepage.html to http://mysite.com/newplace/thepage.html, but you're not quite sure whether you're going to keep it there yet. How would you automatically send people who try the old address to the new address, without any message telling them there was a change?
What are three ways to make sure that people who save one of your pages on their hard drive can find your site online from it, even if they forget to add it to their Bookmarks or Favorites list?
First, make sure that puppy, dog, and adoption all occur frequently on your main page (as they probably already do), and title your page something along the lines of Puppy Dog Adoption. While you're at it, put the following <meta /> tags in the <head> portion of the page:
<meta name="description"
content="dog adoption information and services" />
<meta name="keywords" content="puppy, dog, adoption" />
Finally, publish your page online and visit the site submittal page for the major search engines (listed earlier in the lesson) to fill out each of their site submission forms.
(a) Include a link to the site, using the full Internet address, on every page. Here is an example:
The address of this page is:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/home.html">
http://www.mysite.com/home.html</a>
(b) Use full Internet addresses in all links between your pages. Here is an example:
This is my home page. From here you can
<a href="http://mysite.com/personal.html">
find out about my exciting personal life</a>, or
<a href="http://mysite.com/work.html">
find out about my boring work life</a>.
(c) Use the <base /> tag to specify the base Internet address of a page. Here is an example:
<head>
<title>My Home Page</title>
<base href="http://mysite.com/" />
</head>
