In chapter 2 of the text “Discovering the Internet”, I read
about the characteristics of a web page, the role of IP addresses, how to use a
web browser and how to change the options of a web browser, and the risks with
safeguards of web browsing.
In my lectures about this content I discuss the same
materials as this text. I also discuss the importance of protecting your
identity and personal information online.
The text describes the home page as the primary web page for
a website. The home page is also known as the index page. When we visit a
website by going to the main page, we land on the home page.
A website is a collection of web pages and other media that
is related and connected by “links” or hyperlinks. Most web pages are designed
with similarities as to not confuse visitors. Generally the top of the page
contains the logo or banner, which is followed by the body of the page. In the
body there is generally text, images and other media, site navigation, and
links to related material. The body is followed by the footer area, which
generally will have copyright information.
Websites reside on web servers. The client will request web
content from the server, the server will respond with the requested web
content.
For the client to request a web page it uses a web browser. The web
browser uses a domain name and URL to find the IP address for the server that
will contain the content that is requested.
