BLOGGER PERMALINKS: Virginia Postrel is complaining about Blogger permalinks. If she doesn’t know this, it’s a safe bet that others don’t either: If you right-click on the heading (the part that says “Posted 4/17/2002 at ____” and select “copy shortcut” or “copy link location” you’ll get a permalink that will take you directly to the post, so long as you’re using a reasonably up-to-date (i.e., not Netscape 4.7) browser. But if you simply left-click on that, it’ll take you to the archive page for the week, and if you cut-and-paste the URL that appears in the address window at the top of the page then it’s just the address for the weekly (or in a few cases, monthly) archive. So right-click and “copy shortcut.”

If you’ve got one of those funky Apple one-button mice you’re on your own, but I’m sure there’s a way to do it.
