This plugin shows a short URL for each of your blog posts after post content (in FrontEnd). Short URLs are great for sharing your posts on micro-blogging sites like twitter, identi.ca etc., This plugin sends current post or page URL to [v.gd](https://v.gd) or [TinyURL.com](https://tinyurl.com) and gets a short URL for the same. Then it shows that Short URL after post content. You can select which users can see short URL textbox: “All users”, “Regitered users” or “Registered users that can edit the post/page”. User can just click on the box to select URL, or click on a Copy button to Copy the Short URL to clipboard. You can also show Short URLs for pages by selecting _Show Short URL FE on pages_ option in plugin settings page. **Note:** Please read V.gd [terms of use](https://v.gd/terms.php) before activating the plugin.
