Ouch! Ok, let's take a look at this....
Seems that if we create a little Java script..... and send it to our API.... grunt..... toss in some scotch tape and string.... nip a little there..... tuck a little there..... google "IE7 sucks"...... ah, I think we got it. Let's see:
XR tiny url maker!
Click on this and then drag it up to your Links section in your toolbar.
IE Internet Explorer users: you can't drag this up, so here's what you do:
1. Put your mouse cursor over the link and right click.
2. On the menu, select "Add to Favorites"
3. A message may appear like - "You are adding a favorite that may not be safe. Do you want to continue?" - select "Yes"
4. It will say "Create in" and give you a list of Folders. The FOLDER to put this in is the "Links" folder.
5. Click "Add" and you are done.
Note: if you can't see the 'Links' toolbar, then in IE, select "View>Toolbars>Links" to make sure it's checked.
FF Note: if you can't see the 'Bookmarks' toolbar, select "View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar" and make sure it's got a tick beside it.
Now, when you are visiting a site and want to create a tiny url version of that URL, just click on the "XR tiny url maker!" button in your browser toolbar and we'll spit you back a shortened url faster than you can say lickety-lickety-splickety-lick.
Let us know if you run into any problems....
Thx
