set the slug for clean urls

the slug is the human-readable url for the post. yoursite.com/blog/the-five-things-i-learned. clean slugs share better and search better.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    let the auto-slug do the first pass

    type your title and the slug auto-generates from it.

  2. 2

    shorten it if needed

    the slug field sits below the title. edit it directly. drop filler words — "the," "a," "and" — for a cleaner url.

  3. 3

    save

    the slug locks in when you save. once a post is published, avoid changing the slug — old links to it will break.
