The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or

simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are

so that would make the final URL:

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
