CS 100 - Computer Literacy, Spring 2005
Lab 4
Alternative location
While the CS 100 Swiki is having a problem, you can complete
this lab at
Georgia Tech CS 1315 Swiki. Hopefully our own Swiki will
be back up and running soon. Georgia Tech's CS 1315 is doing
similar things as we are doing in CS 100. In fact, CS 100 is
patterned after what has been done in Georgia Tech's CS 1315.
You may wish to look around the CS 1315 Swiki to see what other
courses are doing.
Original Write-up
This lab assignment will have you upload an image to
your own web page on the
CS 100 Swiki that you created in lab 3.
Swiki has its own simple editing rules. To link to a page, surround
the page's title by *s (i.e. *My Page*); if the page
does not already exist, a create button appears next to the new
title; click on it to create the new page. The extensive list below
documents all the editing features; these features are meant to enhance
your use, but you do not need them to get started.
To add an image to the Swiki, you must first upload that image using
the Upload operation of the swiki.
- The first step is to get to the page on which you wish to display
the image.
- The next step is to click the Upload button which is
just below the Edit button on the left side of the page.
- Then using the browse button on the new page, find the image
on the local machine.
- Once the image has been located, click the upload button
to transfer the image to the swiki.
To display an image, you must create a link/reference to the file
containing the image.
To create a link, put it between *s.
- If the page exists in the Swiki (e.g. *Existing Page's Name*),
a link to that page shows up on save.
- In case the page does not already exist, the link shows up with a
create button next to it; click on it to create the new page.
- If the link is external (e.g.
*http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki*),
a link to that external page shows up.
- If the link is an image (URL ends in '.gif', '.jpeg', '.jpg', or
'.png'), the image is inlined.
- To reference an uploaded file (uploaded using Uploads to this
Page above), put it between *+ and +*. For example,
*+myUpload.html+* will create a link to the uploaded file
'myUpload.html'. If the file is an image (ends in '.gif', '.jpeg',
'.jpg', or '.png'), the image is inlined.
Lab Assignment 4
Due: Monday 2/14/2005 by 12:00 noon
To the page that you created in the
CS 100 Swiki
for lab 3,
uplad and add an image. This image can be an image that you have
created or found on the web. If the image was found on the web,
include the URL to the site the originally contained the image.
You must clearly identify that the image is being used for
lab 4! The best way to do this is to put a heading before the
picture with the text something like Image for Lab 4. Remember the
exclaimation point ! is used in a Swiki to specify a heading.
Your image must be uploaded to the swiki! Do not simply at a
reference to an image on another web page. In looking at the
page you may not notice the differences, but the TA's will check
the code that created the page and can tell that way.
