 * I’ve tried numerous times to add the configuration code provided at the plugin
   site to the wp-config.php file. Most attempts resulted in Firefox crashing. If
   Firefox survived trying to load the WP back end, then the “get shortlink” button
   was removed from my post editing options.
 * Is there a specific line # in the wp-config.php that the bit.ly shortlink code
   needs to be placed for it to work?

 * I just put it at the end of the w-config.php file. No problems with it.

 * As long as you put it before the “stop editing here” mark, you’ll be fine.
