1. Do the following mean the same thing?
(a) homepage
(b) URL
(c) website
(g) webpage
2. Do you spell 'home page' or 'homepage'?
Thank you.

If you look up "website" you will see that some people use "Web site" although "website" seems to be the direction it is going. If you would like to see my website, you can go to http://fog.ccsf.edu/~lfried . I also refer to it as my webpage, although it actually has many webpages in it. If I explain it to my students, I say that a website often has many webpages. I gave you the URL (address) of my site so you can go there. The first page of the website is the home page. (I haven't gotten to making that one one word yet.) On many websites, you can click on "home" and go back to the first page.
