I wrote and quick a dirty permalink module for my site. It displays a "Permalink" at the bottom of the node since I use custom urls. I also might change my URL structure, so I figured I should offer permalinks for those wanting to link to content from other sites. See it in action at: http://www.warmy.com

Let me know if you found this useful.

- Attempted 5.2 upgrade
- through error "PHP Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/html/xxxxx/includes/theme.inc on line 555,"
- this code may work a bit better
