Web Safe Fonts
Web-safe fonts are those fonts likely to be present on a wide range of computer systems, and are used by web content authors to increase the chance that content will be displayed in their chosen font. If a visitor to a website does not have the specified font, their browser will select an alternative — in the case of dingbat typefaces the alternative is unlikely to have similar characters at the same code points.
Examples:
Arial
Courier New
Georgia
Times New Roman
Verdana
Trebuchet MS
Lucida Sans
Web Site
A web site is a collection of electronic pages generally formatted in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) that can contain text, graphic images, and multimedia effects such as sound files, video and/or animation files, and other programming elements such as Java and JavaScript.
Web Statistics - definitions
Here are some definitions to help make sense of web statistics:
Hits - A request for a file on a web site. When someone visits a web page, they request the URL, but in order to see the page, they also have to get all the graphic files that are located on the page. So, one visitor to a page may be requesting 25 different files, and thus you have 25 hits.
Pages - the number of pages requested by visitors, and it will usually ignore things like images, javascript files, and stylesheets which are downloaded with each page automatically.
Visits - The number of times someone comes and looks around. During a visit, a person might look at 1 or 20 of your website pages, download lots of images and files, potentially causing 100's of hits.
Unique Visits - How many people visited your website, regardless of whether they came back twice or three times.
Bandwidth - tells you how much data was downloaded from people browsing your website in that month.
WYSIWYG
Abbreviation for What You See Is What You Get.
XHTML
Abbreviation for Extensible Hypertext Mark-up Language and is a hybrid of XML and HTML. Web pages designed in XHTML should look the same across all platforms.
XML
