Make Long URLs Shorter

This toolbar shortcut will allow you to highlight text, the title of the current site, and the url. This link stops at the home page and gives you time to create a custom hurl or other advanced options as you please (Expand Advanced Options to see them).

Hurl Helper

For Internet Explorer users, please:

1.) right click the link below and select "Add to Favorites..."
2.) If a security dialog pops up (because the link contains JavaScript), Click "Yes"
3.) If you are satisfied with the name and location (most convenient location is your Links folder), click "Add"

If you can't see your "Link" toolbar, do this:

In IE7, make sure "Tools"-->"Toolbars"-->"Links" is checked.

In IE6 (and older), in the menu under "View"-->"Toolbars"-->"Links" is checked.
