   If I post in twitter and past a URL, it auto shortens it and makes it clickable.

   How can I do this in my WP?

   You could write a content_save_pre filter to find and modify the URL. Probably not a super easy job, though.

   Thanks for the reply, I kind of thought it would be quite involved.

   However I did find a plugin to turn text URLs in to HREFs.
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/

   So that's a solution to one part of my problem.

   Thanks for the tip. If you can give me a couple examples of how you need the url shortened, it might be possible to tweak the code in the plugin to do that also.
