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.
