DinkyURL takes a long, hard to read and paste URL and turns it into something, well - DINKY!<br>
Example:<p>
<b>http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp<br>
?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442031843&FOLDER%3C%3E<br>
folder_id=2534374302338055&ASSORTMENT%3C%3<br>
East_id=2534374302338055&bmUID=1097238919506&bmLocale=en_US</b><p>
becomes the following when run through DinkyURL:<p>
<b>http://dinkyurl.com/TDYN26</b><p>
This is much easier to paste into an email or send via Instant Message<p>
<b>The easy method to using DinkyURL:</b><br>
<font size=-1>Drag this link to your toolbar:
<a href="javascript:void(location.href='http://dinkyurl.com//cgi-bin/createurl.pl?url='+location.href)"  onmouseover="window.status='';return true" onclick="return false">DinkyURL</a>
<p></font>
<!-- <b>An even easier method for IE 4.0 and higher users:</b><br>
<font size=-1>Drag this link to your toolbar instead:
<a href="javascript:void(location.href='http://dinkyurl.com//cgi-bin/createurl.redirect.pl?url='+location.href)"  onmouseover="window.status='';return true" onclick="return false">DinkyURL Lite</a><p></font>-->
<b>Need something temporary to type into a tablet or smartphone?:</b><br>
<font size=-1>Drag this link to create	a short	3 digit	dinkyurl that is only good for 15 minutes: 
<a href="javascript:void(location.href='http://dinkyurl.com//cgi-bin/createurl.pl?shortlink=1&url='+location.href)"  onmouseover="window.status='';return true" onclick="return false">DinkyURL Lite</a></font>
<p>
Then when you need a DinkyURL just click the link on your toolbar.<br>
<b><i>DinkyURL Lite</i></b> will just put the link on your clipboard, so no need to copy and paste - it's already there.
</font><p>
<b>The direct method:</b><br>
<form method=POST action="/cgi-bin/createurl.pl">
Input a URL: <input type=text name=url value="" size=50><br>
<input type=hidden name=viabox value=1>
<input type=submit> <input type=reset>
</form><p>

I built this page because they were down one day and thought I'd write my own version<br>
that stores things on my server.  Feel free to use it.<p><hr>
