What does the "permalink" link do on a OP?

Dang if I didn't click it and have no clue.

1. It gives each individual post its own URL

which can come in handy when you're posting links. And if you want to link someone else's blog entry here, please use their permalinks, since they tend to update and archive so quickly.

2. So if I wanted to link someone's post...

...on my blog I'd click that?

6. Right.

This is a link to the home page of Crooks And Liars.com.

And this is the permalink to the story currently on the bottom of the page (titled "Contest: Blog Your Campus"). It probably won't still be on the bottom of the home page by this time tomorrow, but because have the permalink, you could still find it.

4. This is the permalink

from your "Cool. Hey, you know" post. I clicked permalink on that, it went to the top of the page. I copied the URL and am pasting it here:
