As a general rule, it is helpful to quote the shortest working version of a website address. This makes it easier for people to type into their browser, and looks neater and more professional.
There are 3 easy ways to shorten an address:
- Start with wbells.org (no need for the https:// part)
- If the address has numbers embedded (in the form of a date stamp) , they can also be omitted.
- The slash at the end (99% of the time) can be omitted.
If the address of a page is to be quoted often, it can also be given a shorter URL manually if needed. PLEASE ASK!!
Examples:
https://wpbells.org/2018/01/01/the-weekly-news/ becomes wpbells.org/the-weekly-news
https://wpbells.org/2000/01/01/contact-andrew-glover/ becomes wpbells.org/contact-andrew-glover
https://wpbells.org/christchurch-priory/ becomes wpbells.org/christchurch-priory
Excellent – the need is there!
