The EcoSpot

This is a collaborative space to showcase current and emerging trends in technology in biology. This section of the website is for students in this section only.

  1. Create a SUBPAGE for yourself and name it with your abbreviated title.

  2. Add your project as an abbreviated title. For example, if you title is "The use of digital bird tagging in conservation of Bald Eagles", and abbreviated title could be "Digital Bird Tags". Try to keep it to 3-4 words. This will be your website. Make sure that it is different than your classmates' titles.

  3. Add your image, a short bio, and a link to your webpage.

  4. You will first create a website framework - or enhanced outline - of your website as an initial assignment. For your final project, you will develop this same site from outline to completed project.

  5. You can create subpages under your home page to organize and give structure to your final project but multiple pages are not required.

How to add a subpage:
