<p>The default WordPress “shortlink” URLs look like this: <code>http://www.example.com/blog/?p=123</code>, where “<code>123</code>” is actually a 7+ digit decimal number. This plugin shrinks your shortlinks by encoding that number into only 4 characters, and using the abbreviated URL prefix of your choice.</p>
<p>On my site, the default shortlinks are 35 bytes long, even though I have a very short domain name. This plugin shrinks them to 21 total bytes, which is comparable to most public URL-shortener services, and better than many.</p>
<p>E.g., this: <code>http://www.jwz.org/blog/?p=13240780</code><br />
becomes: <code>http://jwz.org/b/ygnM</code></p>
<p>This doesn’t affect your (long) permalinks: those can still be in whatever format you like.</p>
