AP says it's now 'website' but still 'Web page'

The Associated Press, the chief arbiter of style in American journalism, announced last week that it was adopting the usage of the digital and tech world and would start saying "website" instead of "Web site." We pass this along because most weekly newspapers are not AP members.

Despite the adoption of "website," "webcam," "webcast," "webmaster" and similar words, the short form of Web is still capitalized, and also in terms using separate words, such as Web page and Web feed. Internet remains capitalized, as a proper name.
