<p><strong>Background</strong></p>
<p>WordPress has created the wonderful functionality of generating shortlinks for post on your blogs. With advanced<br />
permalink structures a single link to your site can take up 89% of a short email or a facebok update. However,<br />
Wordpress created a very ugly system, the shortlink system simply provides the default permalink structure with ugly<br />
url variables.</p>
<p>Here is the documentation on adding shortlinks to your themes on the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_shortlink" title="Wordpress.org - Shortlinks" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a></p>
<p><strong>Use</strong></p>
<p>Some themes use the template method to share the short url of your post. The use of this plugin would convert all of those<br />
links to trackable ones with bit.ly or shorter ones with the other services.</p>
<p>Also, when you create a new post a button is created next the the URL of your new post. If you click the “Get Shortlink” button<br />
a popup will provide a simple little link to share with all of your friends and fans.</p>
