Website Safety

We are learning about how to evaluate websites. There are five things you need to think about when looking at a website.

• URL
• Author
• Purpose
• Currency
• Links     

I learnt about the five things on top that were about websites.

 Firstly URL which stands for uniform resource locater. There are two types of websites good ones and not so good ones. You will know if it is a good website if it end with com, gov, edu net and org are the most common ones.

Secondly Author where you look for or search for about us or contact us. Thats the place where you get to know the author.

Thirdly Purpose its where you get to know why its there. For example it could be for selling, entertainment, inform and explain. These are just a few of them there are many more.

Fourthly Currency, this kind of currency is not the money currency it is the current kind of currency.Like if the news is about today it is current. If the news is about the 16 September 2003
it is not current.

Fifthly Links, this is the kind of site like SAS where it connects you to other links. If you want to find out if the link is a good link or bad link, then you type in linkto: where google will let you know if it is bad or good.

Lastly we have links which are like attachments. For example google which is a link to link other sites.    

These are a few things to ensure your website is safe.

STAY SAFE!!!!
