Tricks: Posting Long Links (was Re: [DTXpress] Re: Dtxpress III review)

2003-12-08 by Vernon Graner

two simple solutions:

First, place "<" on the begining and ">" on the end of the link. In many
cases, this will keep the link from being broken by line-wrap, like this:

<http://www.drummagazine.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=443>

The other way to do it, is to visit this link:

http://www.tinyurl.com

and paster the URL into their "converter". when you click the "make TINY"
the link is converted and it becomes like this:

http://tinyurl.com/yban

This way, it's so short it won't get busted by word wrap... :)
