My name is Jamilah Ben Hammou (nicknamed Jenna). I am so glad that you stopped by my page. First I would like to congratulate you on finding my web page out of those millions sites. Please, have a look around. I'm sure you'll walk away from here with some kind of information you find valuable. As long as you're here, sign my guestbook! Let me know what you thought of my page! I like any kind of feedback. I like knowing that someone's been checking out my work. Thanks a lot! Have fun! I have been encouraged to build this page by My Friend Samirah Allali who already made a modest one (she is gonna beat me up for saying that), thanks God she is away from Florida until August. I think her site is the second most boring site on the net..Mine is the first of course..She is my roommate in case you do not know and I want to say that we live in peace since she moved to New York!! I am somewhat expert in web design, but since it is time consuming , I just made this simple and humble page to help beginners start their home pages.. If you are interested scroll down. I guess you want to know some information about me. Ammmmmm.....where should I start?...well...Currently I go to school at University of Florida, Gators home, not that I am a football fan or something. I study Information Systems (2 more years to go). I admit that neither do I have the talents nor the encyclopedian background of Samirah. but I am kind of a smart (top 5% of my class) Are you looking for a school in USA??? here is a list of all american Universities home pages....GOOD LUCK

I was born in Oran in Algeria September, 15, 1979. Oran or "Wahran" in Arabic is a city in west Algeria near the Moroccan border. I was named Jamilah after Jamilah Bou-Hairad, the legendary Algerian woman who fought against the French colonial army. Oran is well known for being the home of the world famous music form of Raï, of which performers like Khaled and Cheb Mami are almost household names. The atmosphere of Oran is a good indicator on how this inventive music form came to be moulded just here. Click here to listen to the best Rai Music, choose top10, and then select from Rai Music Click here to listen to some Rai music by Khaled and Cheb Mami I am not the only famous person who was born in Oran. Nobel prize-winning novelist Albert Camus was born in Oran and used the city as the setting for his two greatest books, The Plague and The Stranger. French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was also born in Oran.

How To Make A web Page (For beginners only) Making a web page is very simple. If you are a beginner and you wonder how it is done then please start with me. If you have already visited Samirah page, please bear in mind that she is literally ignorant in computer programing, however she was able to build a reasonable site.
* You have to find a place that host your page, i.e. web host , I have tried many and I found that the best two are:
Geocities: it is a free service with good utilities
Angelfire: free service but they provide less space compared to Geocities. Go for Angelfire unless you are planing on huge site
* A programing language called HTML is used for web design, but you do not even need to know this language. You might use Front Page which is a software that comes free with Internet Explorer. It is straight forward and very simple to use as long as you have your content and graphics ready.
For those who use Netscape Navigator, you might use Page Composer which is included into your Netscape Browser (you will find it under Communicator). Please notice that I used Page Compser to design this site.

If you are confused now, let me suggest to you that Microsoft FrontPage 2000, is the best product, whether you are putting company online or just designing a personal page.

* You think Front Page and Page Composer are tough??, do not worry, you can use Geobuilder in Geocities or Create and Edit in Angelfire, it is as simple as it gets.
* To learn some basic HTML, you may want to visit HTML Remedies, it will give you an idea about the essentials of HTML. Remember that you can build a good page without knowledge of HTML.
* To add some flavor to your site see my selection of backgrounds, and animated gifs. you may also use solid colors as a background, if so here is the color cube. Feel free to copy any background or animated gif that you like and you want to add to your web page.

You may want to create your own graphics for your Web site. Most professionals use tools such as Adobe Photoshop, but most people use a simpler product such as: Adobe Image Ready, Macromedia Fireworks, Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000, NetGraphics Studio2.

* when desigining a site keep the following in your mind:

The Successful Web Site
A clean, crisp, professional web site speaks volumes. This is where most of the work in web design is geared. Page layout, color coordination, design and graphic placement will tell who you are . If anything on your pages appears to be sloppy (i.e. bad links, graphics taking too long to load, bad grammar, visual inconsistencies), you immediately run the risk of losing the browser. Visual perfection can be achieved through:
* Good graphic presentation
* Easy navigation
* Quality information
* Good Graphic Presentation
In most cases a quality photograph is preferred over clipart. You might want one or two animations to break the monotony of the text on-screen, but you do not want your browser to have "motion sickness." A mouse-over (Java) graphic presentation is a good option because the browser is able to control the amount of motion that he or she experiences.
