Chapter 2 blog

Chapter 2 was about the different ways to navigate on the internet. Web sites can be either personal or for business. A web site can contain one or more pages, from a one page family website to a corporate website of many different pages and links to various information. Web browsers such as Intenet Explorer, or Firefox can be used to view web pages. A browser has a list for favorites that is a bookmark for finding websites faster and makes it more productive in a search on the internet. In the favorites you can add foldes and organize your bookmarks for easier reference. Also, the history list very helpful to refer back to previous days of searching on the internet. Web slices are a very cool way to get a snap shot of information on a particular website, such as the Weather Channel. com. Current browsers have an accelerator which you can highlight a word and find out information about that subject using Google or any other search engine. RSS feeds ( Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) are useful for having updated information directly sent to your blog post or web site. This is very similar to a bookmark or favorites listing, however this an updated connection to you.
