permalink

A URL that references a webpage, often one that is dynamically rendered, which displays the information of a single article (usually from an RSS feed) that was featured on the main section of a website but will be or currently is archived.

1) The articles on the frontpage of my blog are generated from an RSS feed, so I'm including a permalink for each page; I just POST the article ID to a PHP webpage that dynamically displays the desired content.

2) The permalinks to all my articles are just SSI pages with filenames of the article IDs. The server includes the XML document of the page with Perl include calls, and I use CSS to control how they are displayed.
