<tip>
To make addresses to evolt.org articles short, you can replace the
article name (what appears between "article/" and "/####" in the URL)
with whatever you want.

To make them even shorter, you can remove the "www" from the URL, and
the "index.html" as well.

So this URL:
http://www.evolt.org/article/You_Call_em_That_em_Web_Site_Testing/25/2
396/index.html

Can become this URL:
http://evolt.org/article/feh/25/2396/
