How to Make a Short Url Longer and Larger

I was recently emailed a rather long url by a friend and when I clicked on it, it redirected to my site! Though there are so many services to make a url shorter, there are web services to make urls longer and larger than you can imagine.

Here is the url of our site

Problems with long urls

But remember that long urls posted directly without hyperlinking into blog comments can often break the blog template (so I sometimes edit blog comments to hyperlink such long urls). Also many form fields may not allow urls beyond a particular length and cut off the url after the limit - leading to a 404 url. Also long urls posted directly tend to break spaces and make the url 404 again.
