“Permalinks” should be named “Easylinks”
By definition in the blogging world, Permalinks are URL links that are shortened and easy to remember and link to.
However, there’s nothing permanent about them, they can change, just like any link.
I prefer to call a URL link that is shortened and easy to remember: Easylinks
By virtue of the name Permalink, I think Permanent-Link.
And when I think of a permanent link, I think of:
- a link that is intended to have an extremely long shelf-life
- but is secondary to the standard heirarchy of navigation links
- and more important than links to URL addresses that are too long to be remembered
