Checking links

Filed under: links — charlesnelson @ 6:45 pm

If you keep a website for any length of time, external links often change or die. One free tool for checking your links is the W3C Link Checker. I just checked four pages on my Links pages (it’s been a year since I’ve done this), and found more than 50 links that needed to be deleted or updated.

NY Times Link Generator

Sometimes you want to blog about an article in the New York Times. The only problem is that the page you’re linking to will after a week or so becomes archived and inaccessible, unless the reader wants to pay for it. To have a permanent link from your blog to the article, use the NY Times Link Generator (via weblogg-ed).
