7/8. A site map
My site map is also my NavBar which I found better suited the needs of my site as an extra site map would just clutter it unnecessarily.
The ul navbar tag had to be placed in my sidebar section of my html template as it acts as its own side bar. Its padding is to the left so it doesn't clutter the main sidebar.
Its position is fixed so it floats with the pages text. From it, my assignment log and source log can be accessed as well as my 'labels' (events). It has a home function which takes the user back to the main page. It also has a link to my photo gallery on Liskov.
The links for the navbar can be placed anywhere in the body of the html template but the corresponding positioning and tag has to be in the sidebar section of the template.
This way as most of my main material is on my main page, the navbar can be my site map to things which are not on the main page.

6. One edited video
My video is that of a band that I'm friends with and I have their permission to use the video.
It has a title and transitions. As it was already being hosted on YouTube, I used object embed to place it in html page element in my sidebar. Its size was an issue as it was to big for the side bar so I proportioned its html width and hight so it would fit.

5. Music Downloads
Instead of an image map I have music download links where the music comes from a absolute URL from www.fileden.com where the music has been uploaded and can be downloaded for listening by a user.
These absolute URLs are links that have been placed as html in a sidebar hmtl page element.
One song is my own which I created and mixed myself, the other is a Queens of the Stone Age song which was distributed by them freely onto the internet.
I also have a Album preview of Queens of The Stone Age's new album which is being hosted freely on their website.
Using an iframe flash player I have inserted the html for this player into a html page element on my sidebar. iframe allows the flash player to play automatically

4. A gallery of photographs
I collected pictures of different Desert Rock bands from the internet and created a gallerie album with them. The file was then zipped using mac's archive function and then placed in a directory on my desktop. Then using mac's terminal function I sent the directory to Liskov for public viewing.
The album's address on Liskov was then used as a absolute URL which was placed on my site map.
