=Linking to a Blog Post= When linking to a blog post, you need to use the post's Permalink. Because blogs are frequently updated, as posts "get older" they are pushed off the "front page" into the archives.Wha??? Fear not: each post has a unique URL (web address), called a Permalink, typically containing the post title and date, or a unique post number.

**Examples:**
**Each link above is the permalink, so you can simply copy the URL from your browser's address bar when using it in your post.**
 * [|http://weblogg-ed.com] = the main address (URL) of Will Richardson's blog.
 * [] = the permalink to his February 3, 2009 post entitled "Working Together to Make a Difference."
 * [|http://blog.mrmeyer.com] = the main address of Dan Meyer's blog
 * [] = the permalink to his May 3, 2007 post entitled "Graphing Stories."

> The Permalink is the direct link to a specific blog post. It will include the date and title of the post, or a post number. **You must use the Permalink when linking to a blog post -- you can't just link to the main address of a blog.** > Please make sure you are clear on this. It's not difficult, but you cannot just copy and paste a link like you do in email or Word.
 * IMPORTANT! Unlike email or Word, simply pasting a URL into your post won't make it a link. You need to use the "Insert Link" button. **See "adding links" video below for help.** **
