Please read these directions carefully.  Once you have completed this site, you will not have the opportunity to make repairs.

I.  Pages to include  (Please note the information on the Checksheet page, which tells you what should be included and tells you what the file names should be.):

• Your main page (index.html) should contain general information about what SETI is, how it works, who is involved, etc.
• Content pages should include:
• Links to other SETI sites world-wide (choose 20 total), with descriptions of the types of online and physical sites.
• Page of the history of SETI
• Information about the various Radio Astronomy sites (both on the internet and physically across the globe), including what radio astronomy is and how the telescopy works.
• A SETI scavenger hunt (choose 20 of the questions on the Scavenger Hunt page)
• Other pages may be included, but these five are mandatory.

II.    Information to include:

• Copyright notice (your own copyright)
• Email links to the webmaster (you) and the site owners:  Michael Benveniste (mhb@clearether.com) and Deb Geisler (deb@clearether.com)
• Copyright and image credits as appropriate
• Links on each page to each other page
• See the Final Checksheet to ensure that you have all of the required information

III.    Art/aesthetic Issues
 

This is a standard SETI site, and not a site for strange ideas about aliens who walk among us.  Please try to deal with this in a fairly matter-of-fact manner.  Look at the reasons for SETI programs and try to leave little green aliens out of it.

With that said, this is not going to be a site by scientists for scientists.  This is an amateur site, and you can, therefore, make things a bit more creative in appearance.  There are graphics suites that you may use online, and you'll find that some do seem to work for this sort of site.  If you choose to use some of the available suites, please let me know if you need to learn how to customize individual buttons.

Please avoid the usual hideous color combinations.  Please make sure that your pages are visually balanced.
