http:// ?http://studentweb.cortland.edu/amanda.bishop/
project1.html
http:// ? http://studentweb.cortland.edu/amanda.bishop/project1.html http:// tells the Web-browser to use the
hyper-text-transfer-protocol. studentweb.cortland.edu tells the browser to go to the
Cortland web-server computer. Username (amanda.bishop) tells the browser to go to your
account on the Cortland web-server computer filename.html (project1.html) tells the browser to go to
that file on your account.
URL
