Don’t know if this will help you, but you can shorten links here:

You mean when you post a new thread, or when you post a response? When posting a thread, put the short name in the box titled "Source" and put the long URL in the box titled "Source URL."

In a response post, you can use the super secret code. I could tell you what it is, but then I'd have to kill you....

J/K!

< A href="www.long_name_of_url_that_points_to_your_article" >Short name of article < /a >

< A href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2776447/posts" >LINK TO THIS THREAD< /a >

Comes out like this: LINK TO THIS THREAD

I put spaces between the "<" and ">" and the content of the code in my example. If I did not put the spaces in, you would not be able to see my example.

You do what you're instructed to when you post an article: copy and paste the URL where it says Source URL A web link to the original article and type in the source title where it says Source The name of the source (example: The Washington Times).
