Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.
2b
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.
2c
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).

Browser safe colors – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).
- Hex codes are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six-digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red.

Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.clubministries.org.

Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by CompuServe in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.
4b
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

Equipment / Resources for fulfilling the Advanced Internet Honor:
- Computer (either Macintosh or PC) with browser support -- many editing programs are built into the Web 2.0 interface, meaning that all you have to do is login and start editing your webpages/website. OR in some classic environments, you may need to edit with an HTML editing program or WYSIWYG web design program. On a PC, "Notepad" or on a Mac, "TextEdit" can create HTML and freeware such as Komposer (PC, Mac, Linux) are available.
- A scanner, a digital camera or another means of getting photos on the computer.
- Web space can be obtained for free almost anywhere, just do a search for “free web hosting.” Be aware that most free sites are ad supported and those ads may NOT support the ideals of your organization, also w3schools.com offers free hosting for a small static site and infinityfree.com offers limited free dynamic web hosting (with php). If you are creating a site for an Adventist church/school, you have free website space already from adventistchurchconnect.com. Contact them or login for more information.
