Perl
Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including web development and interface design. Many CGI scripts — programs that generate dynamic web page content such as guestbooks and discussion boards — are written in Perl.
permalink
A permalink ("permanent link") is a static web address that readers of a blog or news source can use to reference a specific blog post or entry. Your Yahoo! 360° blog tools allow you to set up permalinks for your blog so your readers can easily link to your posts, helping you drive and retain traffic to your site.
PHP
PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML to create dynamic web pages. Like Perl, PHP can be used to manipulate data in a MySQL database.
plug-in
A plug-in is a small piece of software created to provide additional functionality to a larger program. A user of the larger application can choose to add a plug-in to extend the software's native capability without altering the foundation of the software. Plug-ins such as RealAudio or Shockwave, for example, enable browsers to play audio or video clips, while plug-ins for graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop provide custom features not included with the basic software package.
POP
POP (Post Office Mail) is an email protocol that allows you to retrieve, compose, and manage email messages using a desktop application like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora.
post
A post (also called an entry) is a single submission or message on a blog, or online journal. (Post also means to submit such a message.) You can think of a post as a dated page in a diary, or one in a series of articles in a newsletter. Each time you write some comments or add a photo to your diary, you have created a post. Posts are usually arranged on a blog in reverse chronological order and can include text, photos, or both; some also provide a way for readers to submit comments pertinent to that post. You can add as many posts to your blog as you like, and most blogs are updated with new posts frequently. Learn more setting up a basic blog.
Public Yahoo! Calendar

When you install Public Yahoo! Calendar, you'll add a button to your page that your visitors can click to see your calendar. Web-based calendars are a great way to share information with your visitors and promote events or appearances. Learn more.
publish
Publishing is the process of making your web pages available on the World Wide Web. After you publish, other people can view your site by typing your web address (such as http://www.geocities.com/widgetdesigns) in a web browser.
Publisher
Microsoft Publisher is a site building and management tool useful for those with experience using Microsoft products such as Word or Excel. An FTP-based tool, Publisher can be used by GeoCities Plus members to build web sites. (Please note that Publisher and other third-party software must be purchased separately from Yahoo! GeoCities.) Learn more.
pull-down menu
A pull-down menu is an advanced design element that you can add to your pages to provide access to many other web pages without cluttering the design of your web page. When your site visitors click on the name of the pull-down menu, a longer menu of options will appear; they can click any of these options to go to the corresponding page. The Pull-down Menu add-on, available to all users, relies on JavaScript to supply its dynamic functionality. Learn more.
