Posts with links

    I am trying to see if I have say 50 links that I share in a post and I want them to be shorter than what I have pasted. Is there something in wordpress that will shorten these links for me? I don’t want the post or the page shortened but the links INSIDE the post.

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

    You may shorten a link to one character. For example:

    1
    2
    3

    The destination URL and the word, group of words, or character that links to the destination URL needn’t be the same, or of similar length. See the Links support page.

    This is what I mean. I post links for my followers to be able to get gifts for their game. Is there a way to make these long links shorter or do I have to use an outside app to shorten them THEN paste into my post that way?

    The basic format of a text link in WordPress.com is <a href="Destination URL">text link</a>

    If I copy and paste your three links into a page editor in visual mode, and switch to text mode, they look like this: 

    <a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=d56bcd550e2f9ddc8e3b5b99f9cada21_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=d56bcd550e2f9ddc8e3b5b99f9cada21_37073872450</a>

<a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=43573d4be5e28e8c4a93f5cea4f3e3c4_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=43573d4be5e28e8c4a93f5cea4f3e3c4_37073872450</a>

<a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=9ab99fa3d01883c4c3cf9619629e6d22_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=9ab99fa3d01883c4c3cf9619629e6d22_37073872450</a>

    I may now edit the text portion of each code, making each as short as I like. For example:

    <a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=d56bcd550e2f9ddc8e3b5b99f9cada21_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">v1</a>

<a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=43573d4be5e28e8c4a93f5cea4f3e3c4_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">v2</a>

<a href="https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/viral.php?viralId=9ab99fa3d01883c4c3cf9619629e6d22_37073872450" rel="nofollow ugc">v3</a>

    When I switch back to visual mode, the links will look like this:

    v1

    v2

    v3
