Signature hyperlink?

From the NYC Midnight Forum Post:

POSTING THE LINK IN YOUR SIGNATURE

One way to receive more feedback on your story is to include a link to your story here on the forum in the signature of your profile. That way, when you post a review, writers will be able to find your story easier to return the favor. Follow the steps below to add a signature:

Paste the line below and follow these steps:

Read my Round 1 story titled YOUR STORY TITLE

LINK=the link to your story. Every forum post has a link, all you need to do is copy it from the browser bar. For example, the link to this post is http://forums.nycmidnight.com/new_topic_form.asp?FID=52

Since there is a limit to the number of characters allowed in your signature, you will need to shorten your link. You can go to http://www.bit.ly to create a shorter link. For example, the bit.ly version of the above link is http://bit.ly/1St0EDE

Post the shortened bit.ly version to replace "LINK".

Adjust the text as necessary. The text you can edit is "Read my Round 1 story titled " and "YOUR STORY TITLE". Please keep in mind that "YOUR STORY TITLE" will have the link attached to it.

Save your profile details and you should now have a signature that reads "Read my Round 1 story titled YOUR STORY TITLE"

That's it!

Hope this helps!

Hey folks, as a reminder, you should be adding your forum topic post as the link in your signature instead of linking out to your Google Doc or story itself. So that if/when you leave a comment on someone's story, that person can click on the link in your signature and be transported to your forum post. Where they can leave a comment much more easily (and you'll also have the link to your story in your post, too).
