What is Lessn?

Lessn is a free, self-hosted URL shortener that you download and upload to your own server. It was created by Shaun Inman. Read more about Lessn on Shaun Inman's blog.

Is Lessn free?

Yes.

Do I have to have Lessn installed for this to work?

Yes. You must have Lessn installed to get any use out of this plugin.

Does Lessn have to be installed on the same domain as my WordPress installation for WP Lessn to work?

No. WP Lessn allows you to specify any domain as your Lessn domain. For instance, I use JayRobinson.org for my blog, but use my short domain, http://jwr.cc, for Lessn. Lessn's API key allows us to generate the short URL.

What is your name?

My name is still Jay Robinson.
