As you can see, this blog is using the Mystique theme; one of the nice aspects of it is that on a post page it gives you the option to share the article via a number of websites, including Twitter. To do so it shortens the URL but uses TinyURL by default, a service I for one am not a great fan of.

I am a fan of bit.ly though, and as such I’ve modified the function that does the URL shortening to use bit.ly instead of TinyURL. More >
