Category slug

WHat is Category slug ?What should i write in this section when making a new category in wordpress.

 

This is how it shows in the URL

 

It is the way the url is made ..suppose u name ur category as songs then leave the slug blank then the url to that category would be.

http://www.yoursite.com/songs

so leave it blank if u wish to make the url same as ur category name (normal practice ) Hope that helps!!

 

OMG do u know what i do ??I make the category slug the same as the category name.Is the name is songs the slug is songs as well..

 

You can leave the slug alone except:
* when you want the URL to be different from the article/topic/category
* if you are using special signs as don't the " ' " will show as %&&@^& in your url which doesn't look nice.

I made it an habit of checking the slug for each post, that's the best.

 

Now i cannot remove the category slug i have entered.I can change it but cannot remove it.What to type in in order to be normal.The category name is cryonics and i have typed the slug to be ''cryonics'' as well
http://sci-fiction.net is the URL .What to type in order to change it normally ?

 

If i understand correct...

You want it to be http://sci-fiction.net/cryonics/bladiebladiebla

just fill in in the category slug "cryonics" without the " " ofcourse

But I also checked your site but you don't have permalinks on??

 

What is permlink :}}}

 

I see that you now changed it.

This is a permalink
http://sci-fiction.net/the-future-development-of-mobile-phones/

and this is without it.
http://sci-fiction.net/?=p35

your blog looks much nicer this way.

If i may be so free to give you one more tip. Go to the options tab->permalinks than change custom structure settings to /%category%/%postname%/ this way your url will be longer but it ill contain more keywords which will improve your SEO.

 

10x mate what do u think about the design of the presentation,is it good looking

 

I like it, I like it a lot. Adsense looks really nice in it. The header and colors look great and also the transition between the header and the menu looks great. I wouldn't change a thing about it!

There is only one small error in your index page (at least i think it's your main index page). I don't know if you can see it with all browsers (i'm using firefox) There is at the top left corner of the top post the code =" /> showing. My guess is that there is an extra = in the field or the codes need to be closed. If you can see it, let me know and ill send you a printscreen.

This isn't anything serious at all, just a small beauty mark.

Anyway, I wouldn't change a thing about it, think the look is just great. Great job

 

A nice dp designer created the skin for 50 $.Yes i see this =' / > with Firefox but i am using IE7.So how do u suggest i can fix this ?

 

First you need to locate this in your theme, it's probably in your main index. Copy your index into a text editor and try searching for it. It's probably something simple that there ain't any spaces allowed or that there is something missing in the code.

Do you have a test blog for playing around with?

 

The point is that this error is not indexed in IE7.I browse the page without any problems.It is not a big deal.I even havent promoted the blog so far.As i write about 20-25 articles i will promote and contact the guy who designed the presentation to fix it.I dont think there is a point to promote 12 articles ..: }

 

Indeed, you're right it isn't a big deal. Your blog looks great and this isn't irritating or something like that.
Goodluck with your blog and with the promotion of it. Cheers
