While doing that 900th Silverlight Cream post last night, I found some dead links in the database.
With close to 6,000 links, there is absolutely no way I can test them all and make sure they are (still) correct.
Two of the cases I know are because of blog reorganizations where the bloggers did not preserve the previous links. I know it’s not easy to do that. Early on I made some changes at WynApse.com, but I kept both sets alive in my URL-Rewriting file. Since I was already rewriting my URLs, it wasn’t that big a deal.
I’m not going to tell you why (right now), but in a few weeks you are going to *want* those links to work!
So my suggestion is to go to SilverlightCream.com, take the Search link, enter your name in the author block, press enter, and make sure all your links are good.
Now for the deal part of the message – if you’ve reorganized, chances are you don’t even know what those links used to be. So…
If you have broken links at SC, send me the titles and the new links and I’ll hook them back up. This is a little labor-intensive, and there’s only one of me, plus it’s Tour de France season, so it’s not going to happen immediately, but I will do it.
Thanks everyone and Stay in the ‘Light!
