thanks buddy....

above link is of no help to me.I want to know exactly what i need to do on my source page to shorten the url?

URL shorteners, such as bit.ly and tinyurl, are services that help take longer URLs (which can be over a hundred characters long) and transform them into manageable links that almost never exceed 20 characters.
1- They make links more manageable.
2- They can track and compile click data.
3- They can be transformed into social media services.
4- They can provide users useful features.
5- They promote sharing.

You will find it in Google , that will really help you.

I agree with this because that link is very difficult to find out the point.

Goo.gl, UURL.in and small LINKS.COM are provide services to short URL.

their are many site to short a long url like
goo.gl
bil.ly
tinyurl.com

and many more you can search on google

If you don't use existing shorteners like bit.ly, you are going to have to code your own URL shortener in a language like PHP.

hehe seriously why we want to have that long? because when we put into forum signature with limit characters like 250, then we end up with very shortage in adding other wording edy lor =p cuz i wan put image in my signature too

by using many important languages and software.

Use a go.gl.com,bitly.com,tinyurl.com site to make a shorten url.
