Computer lingo...what does this mean?
I got this message in an email from Verizon. I have no clue as to what it means. I only use their website to access email. Can one of you knowledgeable computer people clue me in? Thanks!!

HTML = Hyper Text Markup Language
The former is a means to upload files from one's PC to their server.
The latter is Hyper Text Markup Language which is what allows "links" to other sites or sources of information on the web either from a site or when embedded in an E-mail or other document.

Thanks, Matt.

I have web sites with my internet service provider (a small outfit in Santa Fe whom we started with when we lived there [and I had my S]). The way I update it is to FTP new HTML files to the site, which has an address on the ISP's overall domain (which is cybermesa.com).
Verizon is saying it won't allow this any more. It's probably some kind of security risk, by their way of thinking about such things. HPH

Thanks, folks. No Dr. C, I'm not holding out. There is no lainey.com website.

I think it means that all Lainey's emails will be sent to Nigeria and shared with everyone there, and you must travel there and exchange 4 chickens to get your privacy back. Too bad.

As long as someone sends their bank account info and password with the email, I'll find a way to access it...........I may need some help from a computer savvy person though.

I'm very talented, or that person stole my name.
