I'm putting together a site based on a Wordpress template, and was wondering if there's a way to link one post to another without entering the full URL. I'd like to be able to use something that doesn't change if the parent directory or subdomain changes. Any ideas?

Linking Posts, Pages, and Categories

Something like: <a href="index.php?p=123">Post Title</a> should work even if you use permalinks.

Posts

To link to a Post, find the ID of the target post on the Posts administration panel, and insert it in place of the '123' in this link:

<a href="index.php?p=123">Post Title</a>

Categories

To link to a Category, find the ID of the target Category on the Categories administration panel, and insert it in place of the '7' in this link:

<a href="index.php?cat=7">Category Title</a>

Pages

To link to a Page, find the ID of the target Page on the Pages administration panel, and insert it in place of the '42' in this link:

<a href="index.php?page_id=42">Page title</a>
