Hi Christine,
My first inclination would be to look in "The
Associated Press Stylebook." Unfortunately, my copy
is too old to have Internet-related terms, but I would
hope they are being added in for usage.
The second place I would use as a source would be this
Web site:
http://www.Webopedia.com
It is like an on-line encyclopedia of web terms. If
you search "web site," it will return as "Web site"
and give a definiton.
Regards,
Susan V.
