  http://wp.me/P2wEe1-aR and http://wp.me/P2wEe1-4s both point to http://compositelitmus.wordpress.com/blogshop/diorama/ no matter how many times I have pressed ‘Update’.

  Any reason for this? I have no choice but to use the long link.

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

  The long link I used is http://compositelitmus.wordpress.com/blogshop/diorama/maruchudiorama/ since I cannot get the shortlink to work.

  Actually one goes to
  http://compositelitmus.wordpress.com/blogshop/diorama/maruchudiorama/
  and one goes to
  http://compositelitmus.wordpress.com/blogshop/diorama/ so they actually are different links.

  Thanks raincoaster.
  Seriously, they WERE both pointing to the same long link about one hour ago. I tested again and again until I was exasperated and went for lunch.
  Anyway, it’s fine now :)
