Hi,

I'm setting up a blog on Wordpress and have a few questions, some of which are about blogging in general and some more specific to using Wordpress. I'd be glad if anyone can answer any of them.

1.  What is pinging in the blogging context?

2. What's a slug? I get asked when I want to make a post for the slug and there's an edit box.

3. I understand there's a difference between categories and tagging, and different people seem to have different opinions as to what that is. My question is do you just make up the categories/tags and type them in the edit box every time you make a post? Is there a list of categories you can choose from? If you use a category once, can you choose it from a list next time so you don't have to remember exactly what you called that category last time?

4. At wordpress there are two links for dashboards - one is called my dashboard, which seems to be the place to go to do anything you might want to connected with posting, and the other is called global dashboard - what is global dashboard for?

5.  Any tips on using wordpress greatly appreciated.

Catherine
