APEX entry tip: Shorten your URL

TIP: Entering a website or online publication in Apex? If the URL is very long, you might want to try TinyURL.com or bit.ly to quickly generate a short, simple entry for the URL line on the entry form.

Here’s one example.

Before:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Tinyurl+vs.+Bitly&hl=en&num=1
0&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images&tbs=#q=Tinyurl+vs.+Bitly&hl=en&lr
=&prmd=ivns&ei=JU98TbP4BuGy0QH3v8TcAw&start=10&sa=N&bav=on.2
,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=f4c12fb37f79ddac

After:

(Note: This tip only applies if you are filling out a printed entry form. If you use the online Easy Entry Form, we’ll automatically convert your URL for you.)
