Review and Notes Featured Blogger Custom Permalink
 There are some things that I see from this feature, both the advantages and disadvantages:

1. The number of characters in the permalink, after I check, can reach about 45-80s characters (maybe slightly more), adapted to the character url length overall. That is, the length limit number of characters depends on the blog name. The longer the name of the blog, the fewer the number of characters that can be made in custom permalink.
2. There is one significant drawback that I think no major changes with this feature. Custom permalinks can only be made before a post is published. That is, after a post published it can not be edited anymore permalink. Unlike WordPress where users can edit the permalink to any post types (drafts and published posts). You have to delete the old posts, if you want to create a new version of the url.
3. Custom permalink applies only to the file name. If today someone asked about changing the permalink structure, then the feature is not (or at least not yet) exist. The point is, the questioner wanted to create a permalink url clean, no-frills folder corresponding months of the year (example: 2012/07). This feature is called url rewrite, and both are very different features. This feature involves htaccess, and Blogger does not allow / provide access to it (cPanel). Blogger also does not allow the use of a plugin / add on.

Although there are many shortcomings, I think this feature quite a lot of help in the preparation of the keywords in the permalink efforts without having to edit the post title.
Hope this post is useful, have a nice blogging! :)
