Do all sites work the same?

Every site will have a unique URL (address), and you will be able to navigate (move around the site) by using the mouse to click on buttons or icons and linked text. However, some sites are a lot more sophisticated than others, and may require you to have a recent version of your browser (the application that allows you to view web pages). You may also need plugins (a bit of program that plugs in to the browser and lets it open different files – for example Real audio and Shockwave.) We at Signpost have tried to limit our use of plugins, so that the information that we have included is accessible to as many people as possible.
