use this

http://tinyurl.com/


Yes thanks Scoundrel but how do I remove the tinyurl.com bit and just show text of my choice? http://tinyurl.com/Supporting-PCLOS

Tinyurl also adds a hyphen between Supporting and PCLOS that I don't want!

Try this

Code: [Select]
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/Supporting-PCLOS">Supporting PCLOS</a>

This should just show   Supporting PCLOS
