• Website – a series of web pages linked together, bbc.co.uk has thousands of linked pages
• Page – A single page written in html on the internet, normally forms a website when linked with other pages
• URL – Uniform Resource Locator – The address of the web page
  • http://www1.skysports.com/football/
• Hyperlinks
  • Internal – links to pages on the same site
  • External – links to a completely different website.
  • relative addressing – a link to a page from the the page you are on, so a link to weather page in the same folder would be
  • <a href=”weather.html” >weather</a>
    • Benefit – less coding, link will still work if the domain name changes
  • absolute addressing – a link to a page that includes where the page is located on a site, so a link to the weather page from any page would be
  • <a href=”http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather.html” >Weather</a>
    • Benefit – easier to follow the code as it shows the whole address.
