Thank you – I was hoping that it might be what I’m looking for – but it is not 🙁
Ok, well a Permalink is as you could probably guess, a permanent link to a post.
Imagine that your blog shows the five most recent posts you wrote on the homepage. As you add posts, the oldest post will drop onto page 2 and the newest one will get added to the top of page 1. As you keep posting, new ones keep being added to the top of page one, and the older ones will eventually get pushed off the page to make room.
If you blog every day, the content of your homepage would completely change within the space of a week.
But… if you wrote a really good post and I want to link to it, there’s no point me linking to your homepage – as the post I’m linking to will soon have dropped off your homepage. I want to link to the post itself – ie the Permalink, as that will always show the content of that post.
http://www.example.com is the homepage of your blog
http://www.example.com/really-interesting-post is the permalink to that post.
Make sense?

Yes, it does make sense – thanks. So, can a visitor to a website still make comments on a permalink even if it has drop off the page? And when does a posting go into the archive page?
Here’s my real problem….. Will a permalink solve my problem?
A friend of my has an exciting website and he has a blog page. He has asked me to rebuild his website. Easy enough!
I’ve re-built his website on Netobjects Fusion and it looks great. But now I need to import or embed his blog on his new website. I don’t know too much about blogging – no, I mean, I know nothing about blogging.
How do I do that?
I’ve tried exporting the blog in WordPress and it export it in .xml format – but NOW would you believe: Netobjects Fusion can’t import .xml files.
Thanks for your time…..
Yes, visitors can comment on a permalink page. Pages are grouped (or ‘archived’) by month and by whatever categories it was placed in initially for example.
Must admit I’m not familiar with Netobjects Fusion. If it’s a static website builder, you should just be able to customize WordPress to look identical to the site you’ve already created with that. Then the WordPress blog would just look like part of the site. Might not be the easiest job in the world though if you’re not familiar with WordPress though, as you’d be creating your own ‘theme’.

Thanks for your help – I must admit, I’m sorry I took on this job. It is much more difficult than I thought.
I’ve created great looking websites with Fusion but never one that includes a blog – so, I’m totally lost.
To create one’s own ‘theme’ in WordPress, do you need any html knowledge? I freeze up everytime I just hear “html”
Next thing to do, is to “just-say-no” to the job – which is not easy to do in the current economic climate 🙁
Thanks for your time 🙂
Hey Maryna, just a tip of what I think would be easiest in your situation. Create the theme/template using whatever means you normally do. Then plug all of the WordPress tags in where they need to be after you’re done. Just seems like that would be easier.
