HeHasRisen Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Go to this website - https://www.shorturl.at/ Paste in that long link. It will spit out one much shorter. This one even lets you pick what the end word can be - https://tinyurl.com/app. I tested it and reserved you https://tinyurl.com/horsforth1 if you want it.

I am not technical, but I want some type of simple news page that I can share online. Bit.Ly is just a URL shortener, if that's all you want then your answer is above... If not, and you want a full website, you could google for "Free blog builder" and give some a go, otherwise you're looking at picking and buying a web address, paying for hosting, and building your own (or setting up one of the many existing) templates for what you want! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not technical, but I want some type of simple news page that I can share online. That page is actually an email. It is the online archive of an email sent via Mailchimp. If you're wanting a webpage there are lots of web builders out there. You probably want to search for a few blog providers (Wordpress.com is a popular hosted one). They can be a bit of a learning curve to set up and get the look and feel right, but once it is set you then just add your posts into it fairly easily. For something similar to the link you posted though there is substack. It is a blogging platform with email subscriptions built into it (i.e. when you post people who have subscribed get an email too) and is what recently popular publications like The Tribune are built on. You can eventually monetise it by having paywalled content (if that is what you're looking for down the line) if you wish.

El Cid Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks all, I may just need a blog type page. I will take a look around, its for a local news/politics page. A decade ago we had two local newspapers, the only local online news does not cover my local area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
