Default How To?

Is there a way to Re-Name a Link without breaking it or changing its direction?

Example: http://www.bigwhitehouse.com

to

Example: BWH or Link or whatever you want to name it, but keeping its path unchanged and it's like shortning the length of the link to one word. I've seen this done on here by some and want to know what's the trick? Laters,

P.S. Maybe I'm imagining this and it's not possible, but I think someone knows for sure.

Do it like such. Instead of:

use

Code:
