This site was made so that people could send links to other people that are not truncated in their mail clients.


Enter a URL below to create a shorter link: (please include the http:// at the front)

If you have any questions, please send an email to schatt at ds5 dot org.

A neat way to use link.ds5.org is with what's called a bookmarklet. With Firefox or Safari, you can create a bookmark with the following Javascript as the address, when you click on the bookmark (ideally in your menu bar) it will submit the site you are currently at to link.ds5.org and send you to the page displaying the resulting shorter link (just like you had copied and pasted the URL into the form above).

Here is the Javascript...

javascript:location.href='http://link.ds5.org/createlink.php?%20url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)

You may be able to right click and create the bookmark directly from the link.
