Hypothetically, my site is called www.spare.com, and the aspects:

Linuxforum
arts
political
chocolate

......are parts of my site that I would like to have there own unique addresses.

As folder/pages of my site how would these be named?

As subdomains, the same questions please.

How do subdomains and folders/pages differ. It strikes me that as they have different names then their properties should also differ?

Thanks.
Well you would create folders in your web root called: Linuxforum,arts, political, chocolate, which would then have addresses of :
www.spare.com/Linuxforum
www.spare.com/arts
www.spare.com/political
www.spare.com/chocolate

If you also wanted to create subdomains say of 'arts', then you would be able to reach the arts section of your site by going to either of these addresses
www.spare.com/arts or http://arts.spare.com these adddresses take you to the same place on your website.

Basically all you are doing is creating a folder called 'arts' or whatever, putting your content into that folder, then creating a subdomain that gives you another address to use but points to the same arts folder
