Today's Topics: fixing broken links; e-Accessibility; other miscelaneous interests.
There are a lot of broken links on the Internet. Some sites close down. Some move to another ISP. Other people had seen those sites when they were at the old location and thought WOW COOL LINK. Sometimes the link ended up in our Browser bookmarks, e-mail, or a web site, but the place we linked to is no longer there. We need tools to review our inventory of urls to identify those that are no longer any good.
Xenu(tm) finds broken links on web sites. You download the software to your PC and follow the instructions on how to use it. It is very fast because of preemptive multithreading in which the link checking software retrieves several web pages at the same time. The upper limit on how much you can do is that of the memory on your PC. This is free. Satisfied customers may select one of the projects that the software author loves, and make a suitable donation.
