Meta: Minor Changes
You'll start seeing some minor changes around here, first being the "Email Post" links at the bottom of each post. You can mail posts to your friends using them without having to go to the post page first. Google/Blogger says they won't save the e-mail addresses, so cool.
I'm also still working on figuring out how to make mid-post permalinks work. It's not easy, and not made any easier by the fact that Blogger doesn't like the <script> tag in incoming posts.
Comments:
Right now, permalinks only work at the end of the post, because the only place Blogger wants you to put JavaScript is in the Template. I would like to add permalinks inside posts (which I sort of have now), such that they not only take you to the proper location on the page you are on, but to the proper location on the proper page (i.e., they take you to the post archive page and then to the spot in the post for the game). The easy way to show what I mean by this is by just showing you the tags:
<a name=foo></a><a href="#foo">#</a>
is what gets generated today; but I would want
<a name=foo></a><a href="/2005/08/archive_post_page.html#foo">#</a>
I could deal with this manually once I knew what the permalink for the page was, but that's gruesome. I could also run an "onload" JavaScript script to parse and change the tags to their proper location, but I think many popup blockers categorically disable that method.
What would be cool is if Blogger understood template tags inserted into the javascript.
