Glossary
Blog - A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a web site where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add
content to a blog.
Plug-in - A Plug-in is a group of php functions that can extend the functionality present in a standard WordPress weblog. A plug-in is a .php file that can be uploaded to the "wp-content/plug-ins" directory on your server, where you have installed WordPress. Once you have uploaded the plug-in file, you should be able to "turn it on" or enable it from the "Plug-ins" page in the administration interface of your weblog.
Extension - In a computing context, "extension" most commonly refers to a computer program that, although not useful or functional in its own right, is designed to be incorporated into another piece of software in order to enhance, or extend, the functionality.
Ping – Otherwise known in WordPress as a Pingback or Trackback. Pingback lets you notify the author of an article if you link to his article (article on a blog, of course). If the links you include in an article you write on a blog lead to a blog which is pingback-enabled, then the author of that blog gets a notification in the form of a pingback that you linked to his article. You can also "Ping" a search engine to let them know you’ve added new content.
Slug - A slug is a few words describing a post or a page. Slugs are usually a URL-friendly version of the post title (which has been automatically generated by WordPress), but a slug can be anything you like. Slugs are meant to be used with permalinks as they help to describe what the content at the URL is.
Linux Server - Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.
