How to Create Custom Short URL In Blogger Post

If you are Blogging on Blogger.com platform then you have already nothiced that when you publish a post, normally you don't have to create an URL for the post. An URL is automatically created from the post title. But sometimes the URL may be too large. And sometimes it not possible to create an URL with your full title. As a result it doesn't carry proper meaning. In such case you can create a custom URL for your post.

Earlier I was not aware of this important features of blogger and that is why many post of this site is created automatically. Some of the URL is Ok but some of them are incomplete and they doesn't carry the actual meaning of those post. As an example I can present the below link.

http://www.ittimesbd.com/2013/12/get-detailed-website-statistics-using.html

The above link's Post Title is: Get Detailed Website Statistics Using Stat My Web


Now you can easily understand that the Post URL does not carry the actual meaning of the post. This URL is incomplete. The URL only shows get detailed website statistics using, And by this line it is not possible to understand what does the post actually contains.

So, it is very important to create a custom URL for every post. If the post URL is customized then it will be more short, relevant and meaningful and the visitors will easily be understood what the post is actually includes.

Look at the above URL again and you will see that there are 3 parts in it. First part is your home URL , Second part is Date of the post and the third part is the post URL. You can customize the last part of the post URL.

• Home Page URL: http://www.ittimesbd.com/
• Post Date: 2013/12/
• Post URL: get-detailed-website-statistics-using.html
