## Description

This plugins adds a visible link to the end of every post.

Best used in conjunction with the [Goo.gl Shortlinks](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/googl-shortlinks/)
or [Bit.ly Shortlinks](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitly-shortlinks/) plugins.

Feature requests welcomed with open arms!

## Installation

Simple install in /wp-content/plugins and activate like any other!

## FAQ

  Why is the shortlink just using the default permalink structure (e.g. http://example.
com/?p=4)?

That’s the default shortlink format provided by WordPress. You might want to take
a look at the [Goo.gl Shortlinks](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/googl-shortlinks/)
or [Bit.ly Shortlinks](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitly-shortlinks/) plugins.
