Short Post URLS

Shortened Post URLs for twitter or any other social network that may need a short url. Default short URL is http://siteurl.com/p/175 ( where 175 is the post id ) but can easily be changed to whatever you’d like ( maybe http://siteurl.com/175 ).

Example template modifications would be “<a class="share-via-twitter" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Reading: /s/” title=”Tweet this post”>Tweet This“

Read the installation guide.

It *still* doesn’t work

Try updating your permalinks. You don’t need to change them, just save them again.
