Rename a link
-
I’d like to link to some writing sample on my mostly static website (twenty eleven). I would like to rename the links so they do no display as lengthy and ugly urls.
If I click the Insert/Edit Link button, I can rename the url, but this only renames the tooltip when I hover my mouse over the link.
Can we rename urls in twenty eleven?
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

um, in the post above, “sample” should be samples and “no” should be not. yikes. Should have proofed before I clicked Submit!

The theme is irrelevant, we cannot change permalink structure on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-title-url/The post/page slug is the part of the URL between the last two forward slashes. You can modify the post/page slug by clicking the Edit button next to it and shortening it.

If the inability to change permalink structure on free hosted WordPress.com blogs is a deal breaker for you then you can hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install.

I do not want to link to post or a page in my website. I would like to link to an external web page, but shorten the url or rename it. Perhaps this was not clear in my initial post.

I figured it out and problem solved. I’m not sure why I could not get it to work previously, but it does now! Case closed.
