Activity 6 - GitHub Pages Project Webpage

In this activity you'll practice creating github pages with projects. You'll build a website about your favorite type of animal!

Instructions

Make a simple website about your favorite type of animal.

• Create a header that will act as a title for the page

• Create a few short paragraphs describing the animal's best characteristics.

• Include at least one picture of the animal

• Once you have created your HTML add, commit, and push your files up to GitHub Pages.

  • Make sure to navigate to your page in the web browser to ensure your website is live

Guide

1. Create a new repository on your GitHub account. You can name this repository whatever you would like.
2. Once inside of the repository, create a new file and name it index.html
3. Add your HTML into this file, save it, and then navigate into your repository's Settings tab.
4. Scroll down to the GitHub Pages section and then, in the section labeled Source, select that you would like to use the master branch as your source.
5. Navigate to <<YOUR USERNAME>>.github.io/<<REPO NAME YOU CHOSE>> and you will find that your new web page has gone live! (For example, if your GitHub username is johndoe and the project is cssDemo, your URL would be johndoe.github.io/cssDemo)

Bonuses

• See if you can use your personal site from the previous activity as a portfolio that can be used to show off all of the work you have done in the past. Update it to link to this activity's site.
• Try to create a navigation system which links from your personal website to this new animal site and vice-versa.
• Have some fun! Test your HTML and CSS skills by going above and beyond with your page!
