💬 A Duct Tape WordPress Plugin for Redirecting Broken Links
I got 5000+ links to comb through. But my blog is gonna be cleaner and I will have accomplished myself the wishful dream I tossed out as tweet in the wind.
I can do my part to tend my own garden of links- whether others let their stuff rot is on them.
I too use Broken Link Checker, but must be honest, combing through hundreds of links is a strange labour of love. Like Jim, I too dabbled with Amber a few years ago, but found it chewed up all my memory, so I scrapped it. My current approach is to link to my own bookmarks where possible, this means that if a link disapeears, I still regain some of the context. In addition to this, I found that I was sort of spamming some sites with pingbacks. Although that seems to have been fixed by the fact that pingbacks seem to be broken on my sites.
Great to see an Aaoron comment light up the blog. Staring at 5000 links to review! Dismayed at the number that are my own typos.
Are you saying comment links were stripped? I don’t have link checker dealing with comments— but more likely that was humor?
No Alan, I have learnt to strip them myself when copying across the comment from my own site. Akismet and I do not always see eye to eye. I guess I am not the norm 🤷♂️
