 * On most blogs the permalink is the timestamp, but in the WordPress default index
   page it is the entry title. I was wondering whether there was any particular 
   reason why the developers/designers chose that configuration rather than the 
   conventional one.

 * Simple. It is what allows others to give feedback on their own blogs, by linking
   directly to the post. Would you prefer them to respond without referencing the
   original? That and bookmarking an article of interest are the only purposes I
   can think of for the permalink. I would be interested to hear what other uses
   you have for them, or indeed if you use them at all.
