   How can I add the dynamic permalink in the post itself? Is there some escape character that's needed?

   EXAMPLE: In my post for, say, tomorrow, I want to add something like:

   MARY LINKS TO %this_permalink% EVERY DAY.

   and have it automatically populate the PHP code. I don't mean in the template footer or other php pages. I want to add it to the text (or HTML) body of the post itself. Thanks! Jeff M

   You could use this plugin
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php
   to put the template tag within your post.

   I did not test this, but it should work :)

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Add Permalink
   Plugin URI: http://www.dagondesign.com
   Description: Replaces %this_permalink% with the permalink of the post/page being viewed
   Author: Dagon Design
   Version: 1.0
   Author URI: http://www.dagondesign.com
   */
   
   function add_permalinks($content) {
   	return str_replace("%this_permalink%", '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_permalink() . '</a>', $content);
   }
   add_filter('the_content', 'add_permalinks');
   ?>

   That's really easy! I had no idea. I'm going to be using that for a few things from now on I think - thank you :).
