A word about the short URL process

Your current URL looks like this...

http://my.hsj.org/Schools/Newspaper/tabid/100/view/frontpage/newspaperid/856/Default.aspx

... and you want it to look like this...

http://my.hsj.org/va/reston/nationaledition

OK. All you have to do is go to the Newspaper Information link on the Dashboard.

Under Relative Short Name: type a word. A single word. In the example above, I would have typed nationaledition.

Hit update, you're done.

BUT... if you DON'T want the at-a-glance page to be your home page, then...

Go to your home page. Click on the link of the section you want the home page to be. Look at the top Web address in your browser. It's something like.

http://my.hsj.org/Schools/Newspaper/tabid/100/view/frontpage/newspaperid/856/categoryid/2541/editionid/25631/Default.aspx


... but WAIT. Because life is imperfect, you must do a small little thing. Go in to the top Web address box and GET RID OF the "editionid/25631/" in this example, leaving you with ...

http://my.hsj.org/Schools/Newspaper/tabid/100/view/frontpage/newspaperid/856/categoryid/2541/Default.aspx

Now copy and paste THAT into the relative short URL field. And hit update.

Now, when you type your short URL, the site will go to that section.
