My own url listed in my posts changes on its own after awhile
-
I try to put links at the bottom of each of my blog posts that will take readers to my main blog at
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/ (rather than being just on the page that has one blog post listed)and my separate page listing all blog titles at
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/list-of-post-titles-and-links/But when I come back to the older posts, the links have CHANGED ALL BY THEMSELVES to insert a date in the url address. As example – I put int he urls above & they become:
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/list-of-post-titles-and-links/
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/2008/05/04//
The problem is that these links end up being “dead” as the date changes in real time.
I’ve gone back & changed the posts manually SEVERAL TIMES and it just keeps happening.
WHAT GIVES? How can I stop this from happening? It’s a really real pain.
(I can’t figure out how to get a list of blog post titles to run down the side)

Hi,
In this post:
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/they-shoot-horses-dont-they/
you have used relative links like this:
href=”../list-of-post-titles-and-links/”
href=”..//”
By definition, relative links change depending on the URL of the page you’re viewing at the time.
Use the full URL of the pages you want to link to and it’ll work fine.

Thanks, but I do — I put in the urls listed at the top of my first post, like
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/When it becomes dead, I go into the HTML & see that the part w/ “”http://” has been deleted & changed on its own to “../list-of-post-titles-and-links/” & the link is the “relative link” thing w/ a date embedded in it.
I don’t type it in each time I do this, I cut & paste HTML code I have saved & use it (see section below)
++++++++++
<p align=””left””>List of loomisnews blog posts at page marked “Blog Post Titles and Links”</p>
<p align=””left””>Go to loomisnews.wordpress.com for full text, first post to last.</p>

Does anyone know why this keep happening?
(if you go to my blog, please note I keep trying to fix the links I find broken, and they seem to stay fixed for a day or so, & then change to this “relative link” thing w/ a date on their own)

Man, I just looked in my page at
http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/list-of-post-titles-and-links/and ALL the permanent links there were switched to relative links, and if you click on them they now take the clicker to the WRONG POST — a completely different post title than the one I put in.
This is nuts! I AM EMBEDDING PERMANENT LINKS and the programs here CHANGE THEM TO RELATIVE ONES!!!!
