Hello,
I produce a newsletter [formatted in WP] with lots of links to web sites - I shorten these links to something sensible representing the source site e.g. Freepint. I do this manually for every link - is there a desktop tool that works with WP for doing this?
I looked at digbig but it'd take me too long to cut and past each url into the digbig tool and then past the shorten url back into my Newsletter.
