Web Sites & URL`s:
A Web site is simply data that is stored on a WWW server and which can
be freely accessed by people 'surfing the Net'.For example ee4us have
a website,the link is below,close the window(cross in top left corner)to
return to tutorial.
http://www.ee4us.com
When you click on the link our site will open in a new window if your internet connection is active.Such addresses are called URL`s(Uniform Resource Locators).
Due to the very large number of organizations who now have Web sites, you can also use a search engine, in which you can enter a word or phrase connected with what you wish to find and it will then display sites that match the information that you have entered.Try the link below,the browser will take you to a search engine...
http://www.google.com
A hyperlink is simply part of the text (or graphic) on a Web page, that when clicked on will automatically:· Take you to a different part of the same page· Take you to a different page within the Web site· Take you to a page in a different Web site· Enable you to download a file· Launch an application, video or sound.
Most Internet sites have a starting page, called the Home Page. Often when you surf into a site, using a search engine, you initially go to a page that is not the home page. If you see a button (or text) on a site displaying the word HOME, then clicking on this will take you to the starting page, i.e. the Home Page. It is confusing because Microsoft defines the "Home Page" for your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer) as the page that by default is displayed when you start the browser program.
