Telling Readers Where to Find a Single Article

If you want to help readers find a single article or photo, copy the posting's URL and send it to them.

To get a posting's URL, do one of the following:

 

on the blog's main page, either click Permanent Link beneath the blog entry, click the icon beside the posting's title or if the item is a photo, click the photo. The item opens on its individual page.
open the Publisher Control Panel and click the Dashboard or Post Manager tab. Then select the item for which you want to find the URL, and open it. If you open a photo album with a number of thumbnails of the photos, click the thumbnail for the photo you want to open.

Once an item is open on its individual page, its URL appears in the address bar of your browser. This is the URL format for articles, reviews and photos:

http://weblog URL/weblog/_archives/year/month/day/ID number.html

Note:  The items in the address format - weblog URL, year, month, day, and ID number - are the variables specific to your blog and article.

Copying Permanent Links 

Note: Procedures to copy URLS differ slightly from browser to browser.

To copy the URL contained in a permanent link, do one of the following:

Internet Explorer for Windows

Right-click the permanent link. In the pop-up menu, select Copy Shortcut.
