   blog post permalink. like the link from Gizmodo have in the end. Is there any
   way to do it using any plugins or without using any plugins?

 * You can set your permalinks to “Numeric” -> from your dashboard, go to Settings-
   > Permalinks -> and there is a radio button for “Numeric”
 * For SEO purposes, I advise against this though.
