Assignment 3 (embedded audio): We had to delay this project because of a software problem last week. To prepare to complete this assignment, do this:

  1. Complete your editing on your two (or more) sound bites from your interviews. Save the files as .wav files. Each final bite should be between 30 sec. and 2 min. long (roughly).
     
  2. Create a table page in HTML with separate cells for (a) heading and (b) text block and (c) embedded audio player. Use the cells to control the page layout and make it attractive. Use CSS to control colors and fonts.

See the Projects page for complete details about the assignment.
