  Portfolio Exercise 4 - Add Showcase and Homepage Text

1. Drag and drop copies of your three best work pieces from other folders on your computer to your working copy of the port folder located in your Mgt4322 folder on your computer.  These work pieces may be duplicates of wordprocessed documents and/or workbooks included in Exercises 2 and 3.  If so, it is not necessary to recopy them.
   1. To do this with Windows XP, click Start on the TaskBar, located in the lower left corner of your screen.  Then click MyComputer.  Change the ExplorerBar to Folders by clicking View Menu, ExplorerBar, Folders.
      With Windows Vista, click the Windows button located in the lower left corner of your screen.  Then click Documents.
   2. Click folders until you locate the port folder located in your Mgt4322 folder.
   3. Now, click folders until you locate one of the best of your work pieces that you would like to include in your portfolio website.
   4. Hold down the Ctrl Key while you drag and drop a copy of that file to the port folder.
   5. Repeat this process for two more work pieces.
   6. Your port folder should appear similar to the screen image in Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 1, except that there will be three additional files.
       
2. Use Microsoft Word to modify your website navigation page for the Showcase.  This file is named Showcase.htm.
   1. To do this, open Microsoft Word, click File Menu, Open.
   2. Double click folders until you reach the port folder in your Mgt4322 folder.
   3. Then, double click Showcase.htm.  The screen image will be similar to that for Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 2, except that the title will be Showcase, not Wordprocessed Documents.
   4. For each file, create a short descriptive title.
   5. For each file, create the hyperlink for the file by:
           Selecting the file title as shown in Portfolio Exercise 2, Step 2
           Clicking on the Insert menu and the Hyperlink... option (the Insert Hyperlink window appears)
           Clicking on the file name you wish to link to,
           Note by PJL (2010Feb6): Deleting any path folders so that only the filename remains, and
           Clicking OK.
   6. For each file, create a 25-150 word description that refers to an explicit part of the file explaining how the file illustrates an important skill you have developed.  For examples, see the Showcase at www.patlyons.com/m4322/hw/Showcase.htm or the previous semesters portfolios with YYY3 under Exercise 4.  Also include how this skill will make you a better business professional.
   7. Change Joan Q. Student to your name.
   8. Exit Microsoft Word.
       
3. Use Microsoft Word to modify your website homepage, update the four paragraphs below your name. They are the introduction, passion, short term career tactic, and long term career strategy. Make them consistent with the results of your Career Exercises.  This file is named index.html.
   1. To do this, modify Steps 2.a-d above, as appropriate.
    
4. Use Microsoft Windows Explorer with ftp://stupub.stjohns.edu/ to drag and drop your modified copy of the entire port folder from your Mgt4322 folder to your stupub website.  This will copy all your best work pieces files and your updated Showcase.htm file.
   1. To do this, open Microsoft Windows Explorer (as in Step 1.a above) and key in ftp://stupub.stjohns.edu/.
   2. Enter your Username and password.
   3. If necessary, change the ExplorerBar to Folders by clicking View Menu, ExplorerBar, Folders. 
   4. In the ExplorerBar, click on folders until you come to your Mgt4322 folder.  Keep the Mgt4322 folder selected, but use the downward arrow to show the stupub.stjohns.edu folder, if necessary.
      You may right click the stupub.stjohns.edu folder, click properties, and verify your Username appears in the ftp Location.
      Then, in the righthand windowpane, drag and drop the port folder to the stupub.stjohns.edu folder in the lefthand ExplorerBar.
   5. If you have problems, close all open applications, reopen Microsoft Internet Explorer, and redo Steps 4.a-d above.
      
       
5. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer (not Word) to print and submit your modified stupub Showcase.htm file.
   1. To do this, use the Internet Explorer to print your copy of Showcase.htm on stupub.
      Please make sure that the footer displays the filename and path, such as http://stupub.stjohns.edu/dadle988/port/.
      I wish to verify that you have copied the port folder and not just one file to the stupub server.
