Hallelujah!:Permalinks to Blog*Spot posts work!

For those of you who may not understand, every time I refer to a specific post from a weblog hosted by Blog*Spot (one of mine or someone else's), the link would get messed up by being directed to a link with a '?' in it. The result was often that you would get the main archive page that had the post on it, but you would also need to search for the post within that page. Now, apparently, the links work the way they were intended to, by getting you directly to the post you were looking for.

Cheers!
