You may notice that sometimes, if you are trying to include a long website link in a post, that only part of the link will activate.

Very long website links can be problemmatic. To get around this problem, you can use very handy free services on the web that will produce a shortened website link for you.

One that I have used recently is Tiny Url [url="http://www.tinyurl.com"]www.tinyurl.com[/url] . If you paste in the very long link, it will generate a very short substitute link that you can drop into your post. Better yet, if you want, it describes at the site how you can drag a link to your browser so that you can generate a tiny url (i.e. website address) "on the fly" from any site that you are visiting.
