Assignment 2: Web space shell
Design a simple webpage to collate your artifacts. The artifacts will relate to the learning outcomes described in your learning outcome agreement. For this deliverable place holders should be visible even if the final artifact is not uploaded. Some students may keep a blog as part of their journal. You may elect to use this as a showcase for potential employers and/or as support for your portfolio experience.

To enable trouble free browsing to https web sites here at the University of Washington (and thus the iSchool), users should install the University of Washington Certificate Authority Root Certificate. This certificate allows your computer to 'trust' these secure sites and functionality will not be inhibited.
