    Hi all,

    Please could you take a look at my site and let me know what you think.

    Its an url shortener. Written for myself to use but decided to open it for others to use.

    I wrote the whole thing from design to php and I was learning as I went.

    Thank you and look forward to hearing what you have to say.

    The Website

    Shorten links work.
    But if you ask what i think about your site, for me your site unattractive.
    it's better if you made a logo for your web. if you has a problems to design your logo, you can make a contest on contest forum.
    Much logo designer there.

    Have a nice day ^^

    Great feedback, Thank you. As for changing to a logo. I kind of like displaying the name. Easier to remember than a logo :)

    Since launching I have added a tweet box when results are shown. I have also added an API for people to communicate with my site to shorten their urls.

    Again, I am still learning as I go so quite excited with how things have gone and appreciate all feedback you guys are giving me.

    The domain isn't really short so I'd be worried about it only being used by xxx spammers. I hope you have a backend system coded for weeding out the bad sites. I ran one of these once and my host was most amused when forwarding the spamcop reports - I'd cleared most out but some had slipped through.

    Is this really your name?
    <meta name="author" content="Stephen King"/>

    This is very cool. I could use this as an alternative URL shortener for my links.

    Hello sarahk,

    Yes, That is really my name.


    To check the stats, You will need to create an account first. It is free. Then whilst logged in, create your URL. Then when you look on the accounts page it will show you the click tracking stats.

    Hope that helps you.
