To make a custom short URL using cli.gs...

3. Navigate to the page, where you want to send people to
4. In your bookmarks/favorites, click on the cli.gs bookmarklet ("Shorten Link @ Cli.gs")
5. In the "Create New Clig" window that opens, make sure that you were/are logged in to Cligs. If you are not, it will say "You are not logged in". If you are not logged in, login.
   
6. Click on the "Edit this clig" button, to begin the process of creating the custom short URL
7. Replace the autogenerated short URL, at the end of "Rename clig to http://cli.gs/", with the desired custom short URL
