Testing Blogger custom permalink.

Blogger has now finally introduced the much awaited custom permalink (post URL) to replace the default automatically generated permalink.

This test post title is "Testing Blogger custom permalink" and its automatic URL is

http://testing-blogger-beta.blogspot.com/2012/07/testing-blogger-custom-permalink.html

Now I put in the Custom URL field [box] the following - testingbloggercustompermalink
and this changed the permalink to

http://testing-blogger-beta.blogspot.com/2012/07/bloggercustompermalink.html

It would be nice to have the custom URL as
http://testing-blogger-beta.blogspot.com/bloggercustompermalink.html
instead.

Unfortunately there is no way to remove the year and date of the posting in the URL.
