CSS

CSS Selector to alter link states (Hover, Active, Visited)

Dreamweaver has a function that will check which version of browser the viewer is using and then will give them a version of your pages that is appropriate (so you need to create more than one version of your site)

Export CSS styles to make a linked style sheet

Final project Advanced Writing Workshop: Have students fully explain their goals with the project and the factors they want me to use to grade the project
Teach advanced students about Images on Google, permissions, fair use in invention project section
Do some work with Invention and creativity
Set up TLC sessions right away for Invention project section
An advanced class should: introduce some theory, offer students more hands-on, more self-directed practice, help students add to their professional/creative portfolios, get students to move beyond "the basics" (perhaps we should talk about what the basics are in terms of defining)

Help all students get blogs for taking notes and keeping track of projects?
