  Hi,

  I have a page on my site and am hoping to create a shorter URL for it that can be spoken on a radio show. Specifically instead of http://copyrightandtechnology.com/copyright-and-technology-nyc-2016/ (which is the actual URL of the page), I would like to be able to say “copyrightandtechnology.com/conference”. Is there a way to do this? One way I thought of is to create another page with the latter name and have it redirect to http://copyrightandtechnology.com/copyright-and-technology-nyc-2016/. Is this possible, and if so, how? Or if not, is there another way to do this? I need to maintain the page at the full URL because this URL has already been published.

  Would appreciate any suggestions!

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

  Use your sidebar – there are a couple of Widgets that will work – the Links Widget, Text Widget – I use the Links Widget

  Drag and drop to the TOP of the Sidebar – insert a link to the long winded URL – then Edit what is displayed – then send people to your Home Page and tell them to look at the top of the right side for the link

  see the site linked to my name for an example – been doing this for years – much easier than the longer URL –

  Thanks but I already do something similar with tabs. It’s not easy enough to explain on a podcast. I need a simple URL that I can tell people.
