These are the web addresses you need to cut down your URL, they both do much the same job but tiny url claims their links will never expire.
http://snipurl.com/
http://tinyurl.com/
an example of how you would apply this,
This is my latest dress diary http://tinyurl.com/yns7ev (the full URL http://au.geocities.com/costumersanonymous/1850sballgown/1855Ballgown.html ) by telling people the full URL they know you're not directing them to a site that will get them into trouble if they click on it at work or if they click on it with small children in the room but they don't have to copy and paste the link back together. If you want to be really safe tinyurl offers a preview function that will tell you exactly where the url redirects to if you put 'preview.' (without the quotation marks) just before tinyurl.com you get to a page like this http://preview.tinyurl.com/yns7ev
