60-205 - An Introduction to the Internet

Definition of Content

While it is true that some internet sites may have many pages which contain simply lists, statistics, lists of links, or images and the like, for the purpose of this project, content is considered to be 7-8 lines of text, in paragraph form. The reason for this is simple: The WWW is a communications medium, which has the ability to allow anyone to present information to the rest of the world easily, and rapidly. However, the most important part of presenting a message is that you must actually have a message to present. Make your text relevant, flowing smoothly, and easy to read. This will keep your user's interest, which is your ultimate goal. Keep in mind that these sites are marked at 1024 by 768 resolution, so 7-8 lines on your screen may not actually be 7-8 lines.

As a simple guide to how much text is required for "content", anything the size of the above paragraph written by you in your own wording would qualify.
