Changing link URL
-
I often direct prospective clients to specific links within my WordPress.com site. Unfortunately, the URLs are long and clunky. Is there way to rename them to something more user friendly?
For example – could I rename this: http://mikeschulteweb.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/draftmarapr.pdf
to something like this:
http://eastsidecraft.pdfI realize that I could rename the pdf file, which would help a bit, but can I shorten the link and get rid of the “mikeschulteweb.files.wordpress.com” — Is there anything like an internal ow.ly function?
Thanks in advance –
Mike

We cannot change permalink structure on WordPress.com blogs. You can modify the post or page slug by clicking the Edit button next to it.

When it comes to Media I believe all you can do is rename the PDF files but maybe another Volunteer has a bright idea.

Thanks auxclass – that’s exactly what I’m looking for, except that it seems applicable only to blog posts and pages. I’m trying to apply it to specific media files (pdfs) that I have embedded within pages.
For instance, I might have 20 pdfs linked to on one page, but I just want to send the URL of one of those pdfs with a simplified URL.

The first paragraph of the doc auxclass linked to links to “popular URL shorteners”: these can be used for any URL.
