Re: [LM_NET] tech: library website url

["Dr. Michael Bell" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Dear Sandra,

The only way I know to do this is web site redirection.  For instance one
can purchase a domain name one likes, host it on the Internet, and then
redirect any page to it.  For instance you might purchase the domain name
'covecougars.info' and then redirect from that domain to any other page
you want, eg.:  http://ccisd.esc11.net/99120618141227170/site/default.asp.

This could get complicated and expensive.  Fortunately, there exist paid
and free services on the Internet that can do this more easily and with
less expense.  Some examples are:

http://www.shorturl.com/
http://metamark.net/
http://tinyurl.com/

I hope this helps you.
