Complete clauses 1 and 2 and five others of your choice which provide you with a personal challenge.
1. Create a website on a subject of your choice, consisting of at least 5 pages with relevant content and links between them. This should be a site you have designed yourself using an HTML editor or WYSIWYG editor, not just a ready-made template.
Have created a Brownie web site. The site contains the following pages: Law, promise, Brownie Guide StoryBrownie Guide song, Brownie Bells, a brief history, programme. There are also sections for county silks (I think I have a complete collection) and county standards (no where near complete). I have also made pages for my BOGUK badge work. There are definitely more than five pages more like 105. The web site has been designed using HotMetalPro. The URL for my web site is www.100thbristolbrownies.org.uk
Clause 2. a) Be aware of copyright concerning the content of websites and the downloading of information , and put this knowledge into practice on your website
Works put on the Internet are considered "published" and therefore qualify for copyright protection. A work put on the Internet is not considered public domain simply because it was posted on the Internet and free for anyone to download and copy. You need permission from the site owner to publish any materials, including photographs, music, and artwork from the site. The best way to enforce Internet copyright is through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 is designed primarily to limit the liability of Internet service providers for acts of copyright infringement by customers who are using the providers' systems or networks.
Clause 2. b) Read the Guide Association's Internet Safety Guidelines. If your website is a Guiding site, put them into practice on your website.
I have read the Internet Safety Guideline which I would using this URL http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/xq/asp/sID.129/qx/new/about/article.asp

Have tried this on a previous attempt to build a website but have chosen not to do it this time
Clause 7. Learn basic HTML and create a web page using raw HTML rather than a package

Clause 10. Evaluate the possibilities for hosting your website. Choose the one that meets your needs most appropriately. Know how to prepare your site for submission to a search engine and then submit it.

Clause 12. Add sound or video to your site. If you add background music, make sure it has the facility for the viewer to turn it off if they wish.
