The person who set up Frog for her has limited her access and isn’t being very cooperative. I am trying to help her but I have never even heard of Frog before I saw her site. I have limited experience with Wordpress but am not a pro. We are having several rookie problems. For instance: We have tried to change the page title on a couple of pages and it loses the link to any photos on the page. Where can I learn some basics about Frog? Are there any tutorials or manuals? Can anybody help? Thanks, Lost on the Lilypad

A what? A Slug!! Think of the slug as the page name. When you enter a page title, the slug is automatically generated. For example, let’s say you create a page with the title “My first webpage”. If you click on the “metadata” tab, you will find the slug “my-first-webpage” So if you go to your site http://www.mysite/my-first-webpage.html (example), you’ll find the page you just created. So if I have a menu item, it links to that page. Now lets say I need to change the page title to “My second webpage”. The slug will change to “my-second-webpage” and the URL would be http://www.mysite/my-second-webpage.html. But the item in the menu is still pointing to the first page. So what you need to do is change the page title but keep the same slug in order to not break the links in the pages. Hope it helps! Steven

I am actually trying to change both the slug and Title so the page will be properly optimized for my keyword. (I know a pretty good bit about basic SEO but nothing about Frog.) What I can’t seem to figure out is how to correct the links to the photos so they point to the new URL- if I explained that correctly. Thanks Again, Bryan
