I keep seeing urls beginning 'tinyurl'.

How does one do that?

Go to www.tinyurl.com

You can download a link for your browser from there. Then in future,
you navigate to where you want to go then press the link button. You
will end up on a Tinyurl page with the compressed URL shown.
However, the URL is also conveniently copied to your clipboard, so you
can just paste directly into the news article.

It generally works OK, but will fail on URLs related to user sessions
that time out.
