What's a permalink?
If you know the URL (address) of a blog, you can go there and read it -- or at least you can go there and read the latest post(s) on it. However, you might want to be able to go not to the latest post but to a particular, earlier one. For that, you need the permalink -- the permanent one, that is, which isn't going to change.
On Blogger.com, rather confusingly, the permalinks are in fact hidden in the time at which they were posted (see the foot of this post). On other blogs, you will find that the permalink may be in the title of the post.
Typically, bloggers (people that blog, that is!), link to posts on other blogs -- and they want to link to that post, not the blog in general.
