This
is a Web page. Technically, it's a single file (of any length) residing
on a "Web server" somewhere. It's formatted in a special way so that
you can view it on your computer.
A Web site is a group of inter-related Web pages, like the pages on this tutorial. Each time you click on a "Next" link, you open another page or file in this Web site. Web pages use a tagging system to tell the browser software how to present the content to viewers -- what colors and layout to use, where to insert pictures, and so on. The specific tagging language used for Web pages is called the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Web pages are transmitted over the Internet using a specific kind of handshaking called the HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP). You can view the
tagged version of any page by clicking on your browser's View menu
(in the menu bar at the top of the window) and then by choosing Page
Source or simply Source. This causes a second window to
be opened showing you what the browser sees to present this page to you.
(Click on the X at the view window's top right corner to close it.)
