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 “ /s/” title=”Tweet this post”>Tweet This
