What is a URL?

A URL is basically a unique address for anything on the Internet.

It's not necessary to write the http:// protocol when you are typing a URL as the browser is able to put it in itself.

Mr Kenny's ICT has two different URLs. 

• www.ict.stmartins.org.uk
• www.smict2013.blogspot.co.uk

These infographics will help explain the different elements of a URL.

What is HTML?

Blogging

A good real world example of the difference between 'Categories' and 'Tags' is the way that library systems work. The Dewey Decimal System is widely used in libraries throughout the world. In this system, books are divided into 10 categories.

But within each category are further sections. For instance, within Religion, we would find sections on Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism etc. Within Languages, we would find sections on English, French, German, Mandarin and even Irish! These sections would be the equivalent of tags.

Welcome back to school!

Welcome back everybody! 

We are looking forward to a great new year in St Martin's and in ICT!
