A url is a link to another page. It's a website address.
An HTML tag tells things how to behave within a page: Bold, Italics, indents, tables, etc.
IMG code is one kind of html tag that allows you to insert an image into a forum like this one.

using html (a language) you can instruct your computer what to do with a piece of information.
if you use the html tag "url" you are telling the computer that an internet site is to follow.
for example:
[ url ] http://www.breaking-the-barriers.org/breaking-the-barriers/stories_DJ_Savarese[ /url]
tells the computer to display the data as an internet link, like this:
http://www.breaking-the-barriers.org/breaking-the-barriers/stories_DJ_Savarese.htm
the html tag "img" tells the computer that what follows is an image, like this:
[ img ] pretty_picture [ /img]
which the computer displays like this:

Check out the testing forum. YOu play to your hearts content there and test all the functions yourself! Have fun and good luck!
URL - universal resource locator, sometimes referred to a "EARL" by us geekies. That is in essence a web address as you would see it in the Address bar of your browser.
HTML - Hyper Text Mark-up Language. That is the basic framework of tags that are a web page. Tags can do everything from denote the header of the webpage to the font (and what properties are attached to it such as bold, italics, size, color, etc...), to even telling the browser where 'scripts' begin and end.
IMG - thats one of the html tags. IMG referrs tells the browser that an image belongs in that space and what its properties are (size, width, location, etc.).
Does this answer the original question?
