How to Create Your Own URL Shortening Service with Drupal

[@JohnAnderson4242]

Rod, I don't understand, how does this work for URLs that are really long and they are from outside sites, like a google doc or some other long government site resource?

Hey John, the redirect module can handle a redirect of any length. You put your URL in one field and the link you want to go to in the redirect field. So rodsurl.com/ostips goes to a very long link that is the KZbin playlist - hope that helps
