Monz: fix links

Monz,

Just do a Google on "freeware link checkers" and you'll find more than
you need. Frankly, Dreamweaver did a good job for me of that very task.

Anyhow, hope you get some positive results!

Cheers,
Jon

Cool! I'm still at a crossover point where I sometimes forget that anything
can be googled (and most things productively).

Yes, it was other problems with Dreamweaver that made me dislike it. But
that was Dreamweaver 4 for the Mac. I haven't tried any more recent
versions. It was doing godawful stupid things to the html, noteably putting
redundant font specifications throughout even though a lot of consecutive
blocks of text shared the same attributes.

Also typing performance in the non-html pane was so painfully slow that I
started just typing in the html pane, and eventually I stopped using
anything else.

There were a lot of other problems as well. I think it would take several
pages to list them, but at this point I have mostly forgotten them!

I'd be curious whether anyone else who used version 4 (or earlier maybe) has
seen improvements in newer versions that take care of problems in earlier
versions.

thanks to you and the others for the suggestions
on fixing broken links. frankly, i'm nowhere near
that stage yet. i've renamed a bunch of files and
have to go thru each page to change certain things
anyway, so i'll fix link URLs as i go along.
*then*, when that is finished, will be the time for
me to use a link checker to find anything i've missed.

it was a little premature for me to ask for reports.

Hi Monz,

Do you know about the Wayback machine?

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Useful if you have a link to a page which is no longer
currently available any more anywhere on the
internet - they archive the entire
internet regularly.

They make it clear that it is okay
to link to them directly and
explain the format of url to do that.

groups.yahoo.com/tuning does not net you much. Why do you suppose that is?

They don't do deep archiving.
