I've created my very first short link with my new service go.pwlk.me/inf2ac9y
October 17, 2025 at 9:59 AM
On a slightly mad whim about 6 hours ago I thought it would be a good idea to create my own link shortening service for photowalk.me to replace bit.ly not that there's anything wrong with it. And now go.pwlk.me is live. I just need to swap out the bit.ly code for mine.

#photochat A1 I do photography as a hobby, I've been doing it for about 13 years. I like to do street and architecture, but I'm not very good at any of it.
