[sell-3d] Re: long links

[JNorman805@xxxxxxx]

There's an easy way to avoid the long links, at least in AOL, and perhaps in 
other systems:

1. Designate the page with the item you're selling as one of "My Favorites" 
(bookmark it).

2. Right-click on the bookmark icon.

3. Choose "edit"

4. Change the name of the item from the long URL to a short descriptive 
phrase, like "VM Grand Canyon 3-Reel Pack"

5. Click OK

6. Drag the icon into the body of your message telling people about what 
you've got.  Instead of the long URL, the short descriptive phrase will 
appear, and clicking on it will bring the recipient to the right place.

For example, if I want to tell people to go look at my twin Rebel rig on Paul 
Talbot's Rocky Mountain Memories Enclopedia site, I could give them the 
entire URL:

http://www.rmm3d.com/3d.encyclopedia/twin.camera/norman-rebel/index.html

Or I could just drag the icon from the list of Favorite Places and it would 
appear as follows:

 <A HREF="http://www.rmm3d.com/3d.encyclopedia/twin.camera/norman-rebel/index.html">Jim's Rebel Rig</A>

If I were in a buying mode, being advised to check out someone's e-bay list 
wouldn't deter me.  But I agree that it is more convenient to click a direct 
link.
