Remove dead links
One of the biggest annoyances in web browsing is clicking on a link
that leads nowhere. The web is about sharing and linking information.
However, it’s also a frequently changing place. The site you linked to
yesterday may have been crashed by the increase in traffic, or the
lawyers may have finally noticed what they were doing that was so cool
in the first place.
The Solution
Check for bad links. You can click for yourself on every link, but
you’ll forget some, and it will take a long time. That’s what computers
are for. Visit
Dead-Links.com. It will run through your site and report back
which links are dead. The fun part of finding them and fixing them is
left up to you.
AllAccess publishes my “The Net Untangled Daily Tip” each weekday.
Some of the Tips will be related to the weekly column, some will just
be freebies. I hope you find them useful. If you do, or if you have one
you’d like to share, contact me via my website at http://Preppermint.net/contact.
Next week, we’ll take a quick detour into the world of domain names
before we resume our trip through website fundamentals. After we get
those out of the way, we’ll start tackling what makes a website a good
radio website.
If you have any questions about radio websites – either general
questions relating to the industry or the web or even specific (HTML,
PHP, .NET, Javascript, etc.) questions, send me an email through
http://Preppermint.net/contact. I’ll answer your question quickly and
maybe even use it for a future column.
