(Pardon the interuption. This post is used in my WorldWIT Blogging Teleseminar on June 29, 2005. If you’re not attending, you can safely ignore it.)
This post demonstrates how permalinks work.
If you’re viewing this on the home page, click the title of this post above.
You are now viewing the same content, but there are no other posts above or below it. Assuming I pay my monthly hosting fees, this link is guaranteed to always work. You can link to this page today or a year from now, but the link will still work. This is in constrast to the home page, which changes as new items are posted.
In order to use this link in your post, right-click on the title of this post and select “Copy link location.”
On some sites, the permalink will not be the title of the posts. Instead, you may see the word “permalink” or even just an icon.
Below are links to couple of sites that do permalinks differently. See if you can find them.
- Tom Peters
- Halley’s Comment
- Gawker
- Scripting News – this one is a bit harder
