A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the unique address that appears in the address bar of the internet browser for each page of your site.
Here is a brief explanation of the three types of URLs:
Plain-English URLs The Plain-English URL is automatically generated depending upon the title you give a Gallery, Artwork or News&Text article.
For example the Title of a Gallery is: "Out of the Night | Doggett Street Studio | 18 November - 10 December 2005"
The Plain-English URL for this page is:
www.visualartist.info/scottwhitaker/out-of-the-night-doggett-street-studio-18-november-10-december-2005 Custom URLs You also have the option to edit the Plain-English URL for Gallery, Artwork and News&Text pages.
The example above could be changed to: www.visualartist.info/scottwhitaker/out-of-the-night This example, is a URL that is really easy to remember or dictate over the phone.
Short URLs
Short URLs which typically get used in Social Media. This is really useful for Twitter users who has a 140 characters limit per tweet. Short URL work in just the same way as the Plain-English URLs when you send them in an email or type them into a browser.
