take me straight to the month, baby, straight to the month

I wanna pony: When I made this comment a few minutes ago, I wish I could've linked directly to the playlist and description of the June 2009 Metafilter Music Challenge, as opposed to one page that contains all the Previous Challenges, and therefore necessitates scrolling down through what will become an ever-increasing list. Would it be possible to set up links to each month of Challenge results, so they could be linked to separately?

You sorta can... you can link to the popouts, here's August 2009. You have to open the popout and then copy the url from the navigation bar.

I hear pb is good with permalinks, I bet he can hook you up.

Ah, I see. But yeah, "sorta" is the operative word here: it'd be great to not have to be so roundabout. Also, linking to the description of the month's Challenge as well as the playlist is desirable.

jessamyn, we can only hope that the permalinks won't be suffering the same fate in this age of global warming as the permafrost.

I am altering the permalink; Pray I don't alter it any further!

It sure would be nice if there were more hyperlinks on the music challenges page like: link to the Music Talk thread for each challenge (if appropriate), and a link to the specific tag for each challenge.

Yup. Sure would be.

Sure, I can add it to the to-do list.
