Day Two of Biz Launch and Training already! ~TinyURL~
September 2nd, 2008 | by admin |Hi There!
This is Day two of New Biz Launch.
No doubt many of you already know how to take an Ugly long URL and make it more presentable for Classified ads, Blogs and E-Mails, yet this is for you who do not.
There are several sites to do this, though we will only work with two. Read all the way through before actually doing this.
Today we will use:
TinyUrl Creator 1.0.5 by Jeremy Gillick
Go to:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/126
And register with FireFox. While you are at it, look at this URL (Above) and notice how long and ugly it is!
Fill out form and then go to your E-Mail program and “To activate your account, click the link, and you can delete it as soon as you know you are in”
Type in “TinyUrl” in the search box and down load it to your computer.
Restart FireFox. Go to Tools and click on ‘Tiny URL Creator’.
The interesting thing is that you can use the URL of the page you are on when you pull it out of tools
OR Type in a new URL into the ‘Long URL:’ Box.
Click on “Get TinyUrl” and it will show up in ‘Tiny URL:’ Box. Click on ‘Copy’ then on ‘Save’ and type in description title so you know what it is. You can now Paste it anywhere, like right here:
And should you need it again, go back to ‘Tools’ –‘Tiny URL Creator’ – ‘View Saved’ and “WALLA!” Use it again!
Now let’s look at both together:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/126
Click on either one and put it to work!
This having been helpful for you, it would be appreciated for you to make a comment here to encourage us to continue with this Training on a Regular Basis.
Next Time we will look at “SnipURL” and give you step-by-step instructions to use that one too. Any Questions post in comments, as I will be monitoring this site.
Until next time, Be Blessed, Dr. DP,
Making A Difference And Helping Other People Reach Their Goals!
