Describe the example in this section. As this is your first example, it should be of your <em>absolute best work</em>. Your description could be anything that clarifies the picture. I like to put only 1 or 2 sentences, but make sure you have enough information about the image so that your audience learns enough.</p>
<p>Link the headline and image to a sample page in the site. It's better to link to a sample
page that you've copied to your hard drive, but make sure to get permission
from the site owner before you do this. It's important to have a link to a
live site so that you can display your coding ability. Plus, this gives you
the opportunity to show dynamic elements that would not display in an image. </p>
