Post Slug and Tags
-
Are they the same? Because I’m really confused where to put my tags.
-
No, they aren’t.
Don’t worry about the post-slug, WP automatically fills it in when you save/publish the post.
The tags are also known as categories and you choose them in the tick boxes to the right of the “write” window.
Hope this helps!

A slug is like a snippet of your actual post, the first line or so, a teaser to get people to read the rest.
EG:
headline: White Buffalo Born in Downtown Miami
Tags: animals, Miami, births, miracles, strange
Slug: When Mrs. Buffalo, a performing animal, went into labour at the Abercrombie and Fitch’s in downtown Miami, little did she know she was about to deliver a wee miracle right there in the shoe department! -
I thought a “slug” was what happened when I screwed something up and my wife did not like it! :)
I’m so bad!!

Actually a “post slug” is not a snippet or teaser. The post slug is what wordpress turns your post title into so it becomes part of the url. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/post-options-post-slug/

No biggee – I’ve learned plenty from you and don’t expect the exchange of information between volunteers to change. It’s one of the best things about wordpress.com :)
