  Hi Tara – WordPress.com has its own shortlinks, and you can read all about them here:

  I’m aware of the shortlinks from WordPress, but I’d like to know how I can incorporate a shortlink that I have purchased myself. For example, blogger Luvvie from http://www.awesomelyluvvie.com/ uses the shortlink “luvvie.me” when sending out links on Twitter.

  Hi Tara – I see – it’s not possible to do this on WordPress.com. That site is a self-hosted WordPress site and the blogger is likely using a plugin. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress for self-hosted sites here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
