Network/URL Shortener

From Makers Local 256

The URL shortener has several modes of operation.

  • URL is like this: http://ml256.org/w320
  • URL is like this: http://ml256.org/b4750
    • This will result in a redirect to this URL: https://256.makerslocal.org/?p=4750
    • WordPress will then rewrite that URL to the "pretty URL" and take you to the right article.
    • To find the short URL for a blog post, look under the title of the blog post. You can copy the short URL to your clipboard from there.
  • URL is like this: http://ml256.org/o?OKijAW
  • URL is anything else on ml256.org (something that doesn't start with a w or a b)
    • This results in a redirect to the ML256 homepage.
    • Maybe we can make a service for members out of this later.
