    How do I configure Blosxom permalinks?

    Blosxom supports two kind of permalinks: date based and file based. Date-based permalinks look like this: http://www.nelson.monkey.org/~nelson/weblog/2003/08/15#fn.html They are a link to the day's stories with an anchor to position the reader at the specific story in the page. One way to generate these is via the flavour pattern $url/$yr/$mo_num/$da#$fn File-based permalinks look like this: http://www.nelson.monkey.org/~nelson/weblog/culture/kiteFlying.html They are a link to the specific entry; nothing else will display. One way to generate these is via the flavour pattern $url$path/$fn.$flavour blosxom.cgi, with no flavour files installed, uses date-based links. So do the flavours in the Blosxom flavour sampler. Many of us, including the author of Blosxom, prefer file-based permalinks. The joy of Blosxom is either kind of permalink will work. By editing flavour files you can easily decide which style you serve.
