hello world

Your WikiName page is your home page for this course. You'll be linking to some of your writing for this class form this WikiName page, as well as using it for notes, drafts, final versions of your own work, links to example sites and other information that you find useful. You will also be using it to keep in contact with others in your workgroup, to maintain a calendar, to leave notes to yourself and others, to store drafts of copy, and to record your work on your project.

You will also have a web design project page that you will share with members of your group.

This page will become part of your major project and evaluation. As with other projects in the course, professionalism is expected.
