Adding a Permalink option in the New Blogger

February 23rd, 2007 | 1 Comment | Posted in Tutorials by Vineet Sharma

According to Wikipedia.org

A permalink is a URL that points to a specific blogging entry even after the entry has passed from the front page into the blog archives.Permanence in links is desirable when content items are likely to be linked to, from, or cited by, a source outside the originating organization.An entry in a blog with many entries is accessible from the site’s front page for only a short time. Visitors who store the URL for a particular entry often find upon their return that the desired content has been replaced by something new. Prominently posting permalinks is a method employed by bloggers to encourage visitors to store a more long-lived URL (the permalink) for reference.
