New Plugin: Shorten URLs with Shrimp

Dan Benjamin, who recently moved his site to ExpressionEngine has jumped into the EE add-on world with his first plugin, Shrimp, which lets you easily create short URLs for your entries.

Shrimp is different from similar plugins in that it provides features like customizable link generation, access to the shortened URL for your own custom links, smart meta tags which hide themselves on non-entry pages, access to the relative URL (without the protocol or domain), and more, without any unnecessary database access.

Dan has created a special page where you can learn all about the plugin. It’s a free download, available on his site.
