Also, I notice a [link] appearing next to links. For instance, on Schwarz, next to any of his links it gives the date of the post as well as [link]. Clicking on it takes me to a blank page with only that post on it. Same for Arboritum. Next to each pic that has a link in the accompanying text there is that [link]. In the case with Alex's page clicking on it just takes me to the top of the page.
Is that supposed to be there?
yes. thats if you want to link directly to a specific post versus just to the page its on. all the cool kidZ are doin it.
It would be clearer if it said "Want to link to this post? Click here to see URL in address bar." I realize it's wordy, but I didn't have a clue till just now what [link] meant. And I'm the coolest.
To me that's too wordy, but I could be convinced. There is precedent for the inscrutible permanent link link, and [link] is actually not that bad compared to most weblog systems that use weird little graphic icons.
This feature existed before. It used to say 'posted by x' in the line after each post, and the word 'posted' was a link to just that post. The new way is a little more obvious.
You can turn this off in [editpage] by setting 'permanent link after each post' to 'no.'
Obviously on some pages, like an arboretum photo page where there is only one post on the page, the permanent link is unnecessary. Once you create one page with permanent links off, you can just clone that page when creating new ones, and these links will then always be off (cloning is the top option when [create]ing new pages - 'make this page just like...')
