Learning about the internet can be a little mind boggling. When you sit down in your comfortable chair in your living room or office and you start typing keywords into Google or Yahoo and then click through multiple sites- you never stop to think where it all comes from or where it is stored. You never wonder what the difference between this page and that page are or what type of software they used to create different banners or this or that- Not until your making them too.
Since we began online training I have been consciously aware of these types of things well searching the web. “I wonder if I could make this?” “How did they do that?” “ I’ve never seen this before.” “I wonder what that stands for in the address.”
Once you are working with software to create these products everything looks a little different. You’re no longer just a user but a provider as well, you are also creating content that goes onto the internet.
You also notice the different methods people use to organize their information and categorize their content. Content management systems, also known as CMS, are one way of uploading and organizing information. They are also very convenient because you can access them from any computer as long as internet access is available. It has specific blocks for titles, body, links, etc.

CMS is an easy as 1-2-3!
