Cell Shading Vs.. Well other shading?

[Fairygurl27]

I see people talk about cell shading and some sites use it too, what's the difference between that and well other shadings, and is there more than two types that people use?

and two, how do you do cell shading?

Cell shading is generally a distinct difference between two colors, when you can see an obvious seam between a highlight and a shadow. Another popular type of shading is soft shading, where the shadows and highlights are blended to created a rounder, even look. Those are the two most refered to for cg coloring, though there are many other types of shading including halftone, crosshatching, tone layering, etc.
