Hi phranky and groupies,
First, go to <
http://www.tinyurl.com>
You will see a smallish box below the text, "Enter a long URL to make tiny:"
Look at the long URL below, for example. Copy and paste that URL into the
box and click on "Make TinyURL!"
<
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000ALSDR/qid=1088094490/sr=2-1/ref
=sr_2_1/002-6276164-2470434>
Go on...click on the long URL so you can compare to see that the link will
be the same.
The link above becomes:
http://tinyurl.com/233ql
Best of all, the TinyURL will not break in email and never expires! It works
for URLs of ANY length -- even those things that take up 5 lines.
Give it a whirl and thanks for asking.
Trish
