Automatic, decodable short slugs for a post to replace shorturl

== Description ==

The plugin automatically adds ( for future and old posts as well ) a short slug entry, fitting the existing WordPress way of adding old slugs. (It populates the _wp_old_slug hidden post meta.) This is then replaces the shortlink.

The entry is generated from the publish date epoch, by a base 36 conversion, therefore contains only numbers and lowercase letters; by this method the entry is reversible and re-generatable in case of need.

== Installation ==

1. Upload contents of `wp-shortslug.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
