How can I create a custom url that redirects to a specific page or externally?

    When I self-host, I can use PrettyLinks or another plugin to create custom short urls that forward anywhere I like. How can I do that with my WP.com-hosted domain?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I’m sorry, that’s not possible on WordPress.com. We use the same permalinks throughout the system and the format can’t be customized.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.
