HTML Due Soon
Remember that your websites are due this Tuesday at 10:30am. You will submit your website as a zip archive to Mycourses; to make a quick zip in Windows, right-click on your desktop, choose New -> Compressed (zip) Folder, and drag all of the files contained in your site to it. We recommend that you review your submission in Mycourses to check that all links/images are resolved before the deadline. Two troubleshooting tips if it doesn't work: 1) make sure all your hrefs and src's are relative (covered in tutorial), 2) Windows doesn't care about uppercase/lowercase, but Mycourses requires the links to be in exact case as the filenames

Don't Fret!
As a clarification on the Photoshop assignment: you can use an existing product, but just don't use an existing brand name. If you advertise for a car, for example, then don't use Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Mazda... Any other creative name is fine.

Sorry for the Lab Troubles
An issue with the lab has made it such that we are releasing the Photoshop tutorial via the website on the handouts page. Expect an announcement tomorrow on how we are going to deal with completing the lab. Again, the TA staff is sorry for the malfunction hassles!

Important Administrative Reminders
Remember that attending lab is mandatory, especially this week. Please attend
one of tonight's labs even if you missed the lab you signed up for or which you
will attend in the future. Of course, please still sign up for the lab you plan
to attend - either in class, by email to Head TAs, or at a lab section tonight.
All students are required to hand in a non-collaboration policy (which states
that you will not work together on assignments/exams and is taken very
seriously). The handout can be completed in lab or downloaded from the Handouts page. If you cannot turn in a
non-collaboration policy by 9pm tonight (9/11/08) then you must contact the Head TAs.
