/year/month/day/	/YYYY/MM/DD/	All posts for the given year, month, and day.	/2004/7/27/

How can I create more friendly permalinks in my template?

The #friendlyPermalink Velocity macro can be used in your Velocity templates to create a more friendly permalink.

In your template, you might use this macro as follows:

... template code ...

#foreach ($entry in $BLOJSOM_ENTRIES)

... stuff ...
    
    #friendlyPermalink($entry)
    $entry.getTitle()
    <p/>
    $entry.getDescription()
    <p/>   

    posted by $!entry.getMetaData().get("blog-entry-author") at 
    <a href="$entryLink" title="permanent link">$entry.getDateAsFormat("h:mm a")</a>

... more stuff
