Description

> I Should Be Able to Rename the SN URL
> By default, the URL for Social Notes is `example.com/sn/postID`. I really don’t like the /sn/ part—SN doesn’t mean anything to anyone!!
>
> The WordPress logic is usually to use full category names in the URL. I’d like to be able to change this to actually something like `/Microblog`.
>
> For example, Molly White uses `/micro/`.
>
> At the very least, the URL should use `/social-notes/`, not `/sn/` !!!
