PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

1. After opening this blank template you have downloaded from the website, and before adding anything to it, save it as your own file called yourgenusandspeciesinitial.htm in the nested folders on the lower left side of the Desktop called: yourroot/eco/newecosystem/genusfolder/
(For genus and species substitute the name of the organism on which you have chosen to work.)

2. Write your text here replacing this text. This box will expand as you add more. Do not change anything else already on this page as we need to have a basic template like this to provide continuity on all the pages. All the pictures that you use on this page must be stored as jpegs in the folder - Do not expand this page wider, it may however go longer.

3. You will be able to add links , photos, videos etc. to this page. Start with a simple set of links and embedded photos and after you have checked out your work with the teacher, you may be able to go on to do links to other media such as sound clips or QTVR Movies.

4. Keep the core information narrowly focused and just write the basics of what you know about your species, obtained from your own local observations, experiments, or records of research done previously. Any references used for texts or journals must be referenced perfectly before we can publish this page.

5. FTP your completed files and folder with photos or other media content to the folder designated by the teacher on your school or college intranet server. When the content has been reviewed by the teacher and approved , it will be linked into the internet website.
