Custom Permalinks for Blogger Posts

custom-permalinks-for-blogger-postsA permalink (or permanent link) is a URL that points to a specific blog entry after it has passed from the front page to the archives.Blogger generates this permanent link based on your post title(If the title is in English). For example if your post title is “Hello World”, the blog post’s permalink would be something like http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/hello-world.html   Till date Blogger never allowed the user to control what the permalink should be but it rather assigned a permalink on it’s own.
This has now changed and Blogger now allows you to decide what the permalink of your new post should be.

Setup Custom Permalink for a new Blog Post

  1. Login to your Blogger account and compose a new post. On the Right side of the post editor, you will have a Post Settings Section. Click on the Permlink sub-section

  2. If you select the “Automatic URL” (the default option), then Blogger will generate the permalink on it’s own. If you want to specify a custom URL, opt for the “Custom URL” option and you can enter your custom post permalink over there. It will allow you to enter alphabets, hyphens and underscores. It will just ignore underscores. So I just used a combination of hyphens and alphabets to create my post permalink

  4. The Final Permalink will be something like
    http://yourblogaddress/yyyy/mm/the custom URL that you specified
    In my case it came to something like
    http://myblog.blogspot.com/yyyy/mm/custom-permanent-link.html
  5. Now just publish the post like how you normally do
