Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhat a excellent blog, I like this, Websites are usually referred to as a group of all files in a meticulous folder and sub folders. Files like word documents, text files, images etc are the elements of the website that are stored in a detailed folder.
Thanks for this nice sharing.
