.Shorten([URL to shorten], [Optional Title for the shortened link])

The first parameter of this function has to be the URL that you would like to shorten.
If it isn't a valid URL or if you didn't enter a URL, you will see an error show up in the console.

The second parameter of this function can be left empty if you don't want a custom link title, if you want a custom title, you can enter a string as the second parameter.
To check if the title is taken by another user, you have to add a check in your code (example given below).
