In this article, I tried to discuss all things related to blogger permalink. First of all, if you are new to blogging you have to know what is blogger permalink. Permalinks are the static links that are allocated by the system to specific posts and pages.
When you start writing a blogger post you see you will see an option (PERMALINK) with a dropdown option in the right sidebar.
Blogger Permalink
permalink option comes with two more options one is an automatic permalink and the second is the custom permalink.
Types of Blogger permalink
Automatic Permalink
What you write in the post title will be automatically be written in the post permalink. Blogger will not ask you to write your desired link it will copy your post title and will paste it into the link are.
Custom Permalink
Blogger custom permalink is and the advanced option is given by blogger. You can create a custom blogger permalink for your blog page or post with this feature.
Example of blogger permalink
Change or edit permalink in blogger
if you want to change or edit permalink in blogger of post or page all you have to do is to go to your permalink option in the editor while writing and before publishing the post or page. Go to the custom permalink option and change or edit according to your need.
Change permalink of published post/page
If you have published a post or page and after publishing it you need to change its permalink all you have to do is to create a new page or post copy all the content of your old post/page in it. Make a permalink of your own choice and redirect the old permalink to the new one.
This is the only way to do this because the blogger has not given any option to change the published post/page permalink.
