Be Careful What You First Name Your Blog Entry Humor

Be careful what you first name your blog entry.  When Roller saves your entry for the first time it creates the Permalink URL from the blog title.  This URL never changes, even if you change the blog entry's title.

I can't count the number of times I've had a spelling error, or some other issue, that's preserved for all time in the Permalink.

Take this blog, for example.  It started off with a much different concept.  You'll have to examine the Permalink to see what it was.

Now if anyone diggs or slashdots this entry (no real chance of that) that's the URL people are going to see. :)

Yep, that's how it is :)

I save the entry somewhere else, delete the entry, and then recreate it with the expected title!

I don't know if this is the same for you Kevin, but on my wordpress install I have an option to change the permalink, which is really handy. :-)
