I have a Google Appsâenabled WordPress site and a subdomain where Google Short Links runs. I’ve been toying with the idea of shortening my own links, but I haven’t been able to find a WordPress plugin that hooks into the Short Links API to automatically add new posts as they’re published (and maybe old posts too).
Does a plugin exist to do this? Ideally it would also add a <link rel="shortlink"> tag to each page, but I could extend it with code from other plugins to do that. It should store the shortlink somewhere in the database, of course, so other plugins can access the link for tasks like posting to Twitter, Facebook, and so forth.
If you’re not wedded to Google Short Links, another open source solution to try is YOURLS which has a WordPress plugin.
