First timer - Uploading my custom website

[rhopkins]

For a class project , we had to create a custom website and upload each part like index.html , bio.htm , career.htm , externalstylesheet.css , etc to the class webserver . Then for our final project , we were to use a free web hosting service to host our custom website . I registered my domain name
of rhopkins11701.x10.mx and am waiting for the domain to be registered . I uploaded my index.html , bio.htm , career.htm , links.htm , externalstylesheet.css , etc to public_html . Was that the correct thing to do ?

Btw this is my working website for the class .

That's exactly what you wanted to do!

http://rhopkinsit11701.x10.mx/ is your domain name on your account.

Your image isn't pointing to the right location, however.

Also, I would recommend forgetting almost everything you learned in your class. Your HTML looks okay.. but <br> tags and <hr> tags are very out of date. They're not used at all anymore.. Most of all design stuff can be accomplished with CSS.

"Total Eclipse Of The Heart" ?

You don't look that old.

(and you misspelled Eclipse)
(and you might consider "hiding" your email address so it doesn't get grabbed by a spider and put on spammer's lists - you can google ways of doing it)

Well, <hr> tags used that way are very out of date, at any rate. They're still the right thing to do for scene transitions in the middle of a chapter, etc. (basically, anywhere a narrow horizontal rule rule or a flourish would be used in a typeset document). And <br> still has a legitimate use in poetry (at least until the standard includes <verse> or <stanza> and <line>). But in general, yeah, there are much better ways of forcing width and lining.
