 * Hi,
 * I have a small question. I’m fine tuning some information on the backend of my
   blog.
 * Which is the best format for slugs: “office-computers-software” OR “office_computers_software”?
 * Does it matter at all if there is an underscore or a hyphen?
 * Thanks,
 * Joe

 * yes, it does matters. Always go for the hyphen because it means space. office-
   computers-software is always better.
