wordpress tip: generate wp.me short urls for your site
 

wordpress.com intoduced wp.me short urls for hosted blogs, but you can also do this via your self hosted blog.

Install the wordpress.com stats plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

You need a wordpress.com account, and use the API key once you have it.

The following code will generate your wp.me shortcode

or you can get it by clicking generate shorturl

sample of it working -> http://wp.me/pKjxA-1

enjoy.

cool

will give it a try

Why would you want to rely on a third party for all of your URLs to work? I can understand there's a need for it with a limited field length app such as twitter, but why WP?

for Twitter mainly, just an alternative to tinyurl or any other service, your normal links work still, doesnt change those.
