Vox currently uses the just the title of your post to build the permanent link to your post. So, for example, my last post titled "Is Textile supported?" has the following URL designated http://serdar.vox.com/library/post/is-textile-supported.html. While this may seem fine and it typically is, often enough I also hack URLs to "move up" a directory or to see a collection/index of "resources".

Had the URL of the post been http://serdar.vox.com/post/2006/08/29/is-textile-supported.html, I would then assume that if I go to to http://serdar.vox.com/post/2006/08/29/ I would see posts for the 29th August, 2006, and had I browsed to http://serdar.vox.com/post/2006/08/ I would see all posts for the month of August this year.

Tim Berners-Lee, explains "cool URIs" much better than I could in this old but very relevant article.
