This is an individual assignment. As a reminder, all assignments must be submitted before class on the day they are due.

1. Login to Piazza and post a short introduction as a note in the folder "checkin". The subject should be "Introduction - your name"
   • Tell us one interesting thing about yourself.
   • Include a picture of yourself, and embed it inline.
   • Then, tell us if you took SWE 205.
2. Set up your personal webpage through the Mason cluster (this webpage is where you will submit all your assignments) following the Mason website setup instructions. These instructions are borrowed from Dr. Offutt, so the links on that page will not take you back to this semester's course. Extra credit: Is using the links that will not take you back to this semester's course good or bad usability? Justify your answer. If it is bad, what should have been done to improve the usability? (Note: only reasonable justification is qualified for the extra credits.)
   If you run into problems, you might find http://webdev.gmu.edu/setting-up-a-personal-site/ useful. If you are still stuck, DO NOT email the instructor; please post all of your questions to Piazza.
3. After setting up your webpage, complete a short survey (on Blackboard). Enter your information along with the URL (your webpage) and the username/password combination.
