For many of you who asked about further customisation of Name.ly/Cards sites, from today on, it is posible to set your own background image on both Name.ly/Cards and LiveTweets themes. Have a look yourself.

One can set a custom colour, external image url, upload a background image, or even use any image from the media library. Either go to:

Appearance > Background

Brief.ly's punched tape logo

LONDON, 14 December 2010 (Brands-and-Jingles)

Name.ly is proud to present you with alpha version of its new service Brief.ly.

Unlike conventional URL shorteners Brief.ly allows you to re-route your links any time, any place.

You can shorten multiple links at once, pick up catchy designs and choose among dozens of integrated short and meaningful domain names.

All embedded multi-sites are opened with just one click, making switching between them instant. That saves readers a lot of effort while opening links sent though mailings or other online channels.

Publishers enjoy in-depth visitor analytics and full range of blogging features too.

This launch of the alpha version successfully concludes Brief.ly/Paradox informative teaser campaign run prior to the official launch.

Earlier this year Name.ly has added few short URLs and redirects, now with demand rising, we are glad to announce about the most shortest star link you can come across the Internet.

Please welcome our new Name.ly domain name, the most shortest and the most starest one:

✯.ws

Read as “star web site”, ✯.ws surely catches the eye among the myriad of other links, so abandon now on the web.

This post for instance will now also resolve as http://✯.ws/!Ej$6L.

Big thanks to Alex, it is now possible to embed any kind of video on all your Name.ly sites. To configure all the settings just go to:

Settings > Video Quicktags

In addition to our recent additions of new jingling URLs and their shorteners, Name.ly platform has added few more features on all of its domains. They will provide you with better URL customisation.

From today on it is possible to redirect sub-domain and sub-directories, both ways.

Say, if you blog was joking.ofcour.se, it is now will be possible to use ofcour.se/joking.

It is also possible to add dashes, dots and underscores (“-“, “.”, and “_”) to any place of the sub-directory address. Thus ofcour.se/facebook will also work as:

• ofcour.se/face-book
• ofcour.se/face.book
• ofcour.se/face_book
• and even as ofcour.se/f_a_c_e-b.o.o.k

Though, the last one looks pretty ugly and you won’t be really using it.

The same way, thailandhotels.of-cour.se or ofcour.se/thailandhotels will also work as:

• of-cour.se/thailand-hotels
• of-cour.se/thailand_hotels
• of-cour.se/thailand.hotel
• and even as of-cour.se/thai.land-hotels etcetera
