When you post your content to the Steem blockchain through the UI interface of Steemit.com, the website automatically creates a permlink for your post based on the title you provided. But what if you want a specific permlink for your post? This is possible and I can think of two ways to do it:
1. The simple workaround:
When posting, put the permlink in the title edit box. This way, the website will probably use the title for a permlink as is, provided it is a well-formed permlink. After your post is created, edit your post and replace the permlink with the actual title.
2. The programmatic solution:
Post using a client library, like steemjs, which is "the official JavaScript library for Steem blockchain."
Here is an example code:
var jsonMetadata = JSON.stringify({
tags: ["programming", "steem", "steemit"], // your tags
app: "testapp",
format: "markdown", // "markdown" or "html"
});
steem.broadcast.comment(
wif, // your posting private key
parentAuthor, // "" for a new post
parentPermlink, // main tag
author, // author username
permlink, // post permlink
title, // post title
body, // post body
jsonMetadata,
function (err, result) {
console.log(err, result);
});
Of course, you should take care that you have not used the permlink before.
WordPress comes with a handy option to create SEO friendly URL structure called Permalinks for your site. All you have to do is go to Settings » Permalinks page and choose a URL structure.
There are a number of options to choose from, and you can even specify a custom structure.

i have been struggling with this for a while , glad you have a solution, sometimes i want to change but it refuses , thanks man
Thank you for your comment. Glad you liked it.
Very interesting! I hope we do get a feature to allow us to create custom permalinks easier in the future.
Yes, it would better that this feature is provided in the UI as an advanced option (for example, it could be hidden for normal usage, but could be made visible by clicking an "Advanced" button).
