TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.

The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Alternates offered were:
World Wide Web address
World Wide Web home page
Web page address
Web site address
Web address
WWW address
Or just say, "Go to the following address on the Web:"
It should be noted that all of the above are, strictly speaking, wrong.
News:rec.games.chess.analysis
is a perfectly correct URL, but it has nothing to do with the web. Likewise
the following:
(this last one only works on a Mac, PC users have to begin with a drive
letter, as in "file:///C/Windows/system.ini")
The Web is only one small part of the territory covered by a URL. Calling
every URL a web address is like calling every car a Ford.
Have fun,
