?With the shortened version, can you hover your mouse over it and see the actual? Now the I¡¯m writing this, I doubt that it will. Curious.

?Harry, sometimes a URL can get so long that it is awkward. There are URL shorteners that you can use to make it more manageable. Bitly is one of those. Common ones include TinyURL, Rebrandly, Short.io, Sniply, and others.
The scary part is that you have no idea where it actually goes to, so I have gotten out of the habit of using them. You have to know that the service has properly vetted the target URL, but I don¡¯t have a lot of confidence in anyone's ability to stay one step ahead of the nefarious players of the world.
I¡¯d much rather see a real URL with a real domain and a nice https in front of it.
That said, I¡¯m sure that the SJAS one is probably fine. If it wasn¡¯t you¡¯d probably have heard about by now.

In today¡¯s Courier Journal is an article about the St. James Art Show. They list this URL for the show:

I¡¯ve never seen a URL like this and I don¡¯t understand how it works. Can someone explain.
Harry,
