Task 1 WWW. The World Wide Web, abbreviated as WWW and commonly known as the Web BLOG: A blog (a blend of the term web log)[1] is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] INTERNET: The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail. WEBSITE: A website (also spelled Web site;[1][2]) is a collection of related web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed relative to a common Uniform Resource Locator (URL), often consisting of only the domain name, or the IP address, and the root path ('/') in an Internet Protocol-based network. A web site is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network URL: In computing, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it. In popular usage and in many technical documents and verbal discussions it is often incorrectly used as a synonym for URI.[1] The best-known example of a URL is the "address" of a web page on the World Wide Web, e.g. http://www.example.com. MODEM: A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded to reproduce the original digital data. Modems can be used over any means of transmitting analog signals, from driven diodes to radio IMAGE: Images may be two-dimensional, such as a photograph, screen display, and as well as a three-dimensional, such as a statue. They may be captured by optical devices—such as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces. GIF: The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. PDF: Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open standard for document exchange. The file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.[2] Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents. Lately, 3D drawings can be embedded in PDF documents with Acrobat 3D using U3D or PRC and various other data formats.[3][4] GADGET: A gadget is a small[1] technological object (such as a device or an appliance) that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably[citation needed] considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technological objects at the time of their invention. Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos. HTML: HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of "tags" surrounded by angle brackets within the web page content. It is the building blocks of all basic websites. BITMAP IMAGE: In computer graphics, a bitmap or pixmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits. Now, along with pixmap, it commonly refers to the similar concept of a spatially mapped array of pixels. Raster images in general may be referred to as bitmaps or pixmaps, whether synthetic or photographic, in files or memory. In some contexts, the term bitmap implies one bit per pixel, while pixmap is used for images with multiple bits per pixel.[1][2] VECTOR IMAGE: Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics.

What different types of websites are there?
There are several different types of websites, and they are being used for several different purposes. For example, some websites are built to be informative, some to be entertaining, some to facilitate communication and others to be commercial. For the purpose of this thesis, I will only concentrate on the commercial website type, particularly the marketing aspect of it.
What are the benefits of having a website?
What purpose does a web map serve?
A special purpose map is a map that is geological in nature. It typically is used for showing features that are shown below the surface of an area
What are links ?
There are two types of links or linking: one-way linking and reciprocal linking. The best links you can have are relevant, one-way links to your website. While the value is not as significant, there is still value to trade links with other websites - called reciprocal linking. Your goal in finding links, one-way or reciprocal, should be always be relevancy.
What are 8 golden rules of a good web design?
1 Strive for consistensy
2 Enable frequent users to use shortcuts
3 Offer informative feedback
4 Walk user through more complicated tasks
5 Offer simple error handling.
6 Permit easy reversal of actions
7 Make the user feel in control
8 Keep it simple
What are the good principles of a good web design?
- Guidelines for Good Design
- Select standard fonts that are easy on the eye to maximize readability
- Text is big enough to read, but not too big
- Background and font colors should contrast
- Use light font colors on dark backgrounds
- Use dark font colors on light backgrounds
- Avoid red and green combinations- hard on the eyes
- Site navigation should be intuitive
- Page layout should be created using tables
- The website should not be too busy or distracting. Simple and classy is best!
- Avoid long web pages. Most people would rather click than scroll. Keeps pages to less than than three screens to avoid too much scrolling. Break pages into sections and bookmark each section. Provide links to the sections and a link to return to the top of the page.
- Apply the three-click rule. Visitors should not have to click more than three times to get information.
- Why is it important to test, evaluate and update your website?
its important to keep up with the times and keep updating on current events so that for who is looking at your website they will get current information. testing it is very important because if you post something and you make a mistake in that post you most likely not able to fix it.
