You may make your own XML tages, but try to use meaningful tag labels. Of course each item should have all its details as its content (i.e. nested within the items outermost tag).

Your five items should all be within the scope of a ?db? tag. You final file wil look as below:

<db author=?you? date=?date_you submit_it? >

? your data goes here ?.

</db>

I will install (over the weekend ) a form which you can use to submit your homework. You will need to enter your name, but you should be able to copy your xml from a file and paste it into the form. Thus check that your XML is well-formde before hand.

The turn-in form will be available from HERE..
