How do I do a unique web address, I'm not understanding how that works...I'm really new and trying to publish my first hub, once I figure out what I'm doing...

you mean web address in hubpages? maybe you need to elaborate a little on this.
Okay I see your point.
So you made a hub, with the title that you want.
Hubpages then uses the same title to make a UNIQUE web addrees.
But the problem is somebody already made a hub with that same title and so your web address is going to be the same one as theirs.
So when you see a message like this:
Please fix these errors before continuing:
The web address you specified has already been taken. Please try another one
Go to the space that is highighted in pink, change a letter or add more words or just do something so that it will be different from the first guy who has first dibs on that web address.
Had that happen to me & was stumped myself, but that's how I went about it.

good luck and welcome to hubpages.
Your "web sites" within Hubpages are your Hubs. To create your first hub, go to:
http://hubpages.com/hubtool/create/name/
Pretty good advice. Perhaps your problem is resolved. I want to add some.
URL is important for SEO. So chose your URL carefully. It will be better if it has some key words related to your hub.
Thanks,
