The Microblogs plugin for Wolf CMS has just been updated to version 0.7.5. This new version now provides support for Bit.ly! In fact, this post was tweeted about automatically by that same microblogs plugin.
Configuring the microblogs plugin to use the Bit.ly URL shortner service is very easy, you just follow these steps:
- Install or upgrade to version 0.7.5. of the microblogs plugin. Get it here.
- If you don't have one already, create a Bit.ly user account.
- Login to Bit.ly
- Visit your Bit.ly settings page and write down the API key you find there. (http://bit.ly/a/account)
- On the plugin's settings page, enter your Bit.ly user id and the API key.
- Lastly, select "Bit.ly" for the URL shortner setting in the plugin's "General settings" section.
That's it! I hope you'll enjoy your microblogs plugin.
