• Find a page with an inappropriate title, such as "index.htm" or "hexidec.html." What do you know how to do that the person who created that web page doesn't (or just overlooked)?

Index.htm should be the default name of the first page of every web site. This allows the files associated with the site to be organized. The site should also have a unique name so it can be found by a search engine.

 

•  Find a page that has an icon indicating a missing graphic. Why might the graphic be missing?

 

 

http://www.mcu.org.uk/articles/tables.html

 

 

The graphic of the stop sign is missing because either the .html address is wrong or the file has been moved from the original folder.

 

• Look carefully at a few web addresses. Can you visualize the file structure now? That is, can you tell which folders are inside of which folders, and which file is the actual name of the web page you see?

 

• When you come across business sites, take note of their domain names. Do you find a business that does not own its own domain name (such as hometown.aol.com/CatfoodCompany)? What kind of impression does that give you?

Domain names are not very expensive. If a company is in business to sell a product to customers who use the internet they should acquire their own domain name. I would probably not but a product from such a company.
