What is a "slug"? Tips for new blogger?
-
What is a “slug”? What should be put in that field? And what is it used for please?
I’m not completely new to wordpress, but I am very much still a “beginner”. I used to use it only for personal storage. Now I would like to start blogging.
Feel free to give me any newbie tips.
Thank you in advance.

Start here: http://learn.wordpress.com and http://en.support.wordpress.com/get-started/. As a beginner, you really don’t need to worry too much about what a slug is, but there is a lexicon here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/lexicon/

As an example, this is the URL of your first post:
http://inthequiet.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/my-house/
The slug is the “my-house” part of the URL. It is produced automatically when you create a new post or static page. As you’ve already found, it doesn’t have to coincide with the actual title of the post/page: you can change the title independently of the slug and vv.
