I've learned how to do the link thing like Gringo supplied, as there are blogs out there where the active link isn't automatic as it is here - but I had to paste it onto a desktop note - I don't use it often enough for it to be automatic. http://tinyurl.com/ Or you can go to the tiny url site and download a button on your toolbar.
