3. A page consisting of one of your papers. This page should make use of targets (for a table of contents) and you should have some references which refer to URLs. These references should be hyperlinks to the references.

These pages should make use of the following:

1. Each page should end in a ``signature,'' informing the reader of the last date of modification to the page, your name, and your e-mail address in a mailto URL. The signatures should include a ``home'' button which is a link to your main page.

2. Each page should make use of a background and have a title (the title bar title as well as a Heading 1 title at the top of the page).
