  Apparently, the theme you chose does not have the “hover” over a link feature. Simply click the title and you will see the permalink in your browser bar. Alternatively, select the title and then right click and select “copy link location”. VOILA! you have the permalink. :)

  If I hover over the post title it shows the permalink in my browser status bar at the bottom, but it only shows the post title in the yellow box that comes up.

  yeah, i saw that. maybe I’m reading too much into that but i did a SMALL sampling of blogs that have the “hover” feature and their posts showed up. Blogs that did not have the “hover” feature did not have their blogs show up – maybe its just coincidence. :)

  ah, I added my last name as part of the search for post that should have a permalink and it found it! I guess posts are not hot enough to show up on the first few pages of search results. :)

  use tags and use them liberally – things begin to show up real quick after that!

  I think Google gives more juice to what is on your front page than on other pages although it does crawl all of them.

  With the “hover” are you talking about the small preview window with a small version of the page in it? If you are, then that is likely the “snap preview” which some of us here here have purposely turned off since it can cause weird problems at times and prevent images and pages from loading. If that is what you are talking about it can be turned on by going to presentation > extras, putting a check mark in the box and then clicking update extras.
