I read about a Word Press Plug-In that finds broken links in your site.  Since I moved Rantings and Ravings from one URL to another a year or so ago, I knew I had to have broken links, so I installed the plug in and put it to work.

It found 330+ broken links through out the site.  I’ve been wandering around and either deleting the link (mostly to those stupid quizzes that were all the rage a couple of years ago, and now the sites are defunct).  I did a wholesale swap of the old site URLs for new site URLs in an attempt to fix a few problems — I knew it wouldn’t fix everything, but now I know there is something that requires more effort to deal with.

It’s surprising how many commenters from years ago have deleted their Blogger or LiveJournal accounts.  Those showed up, so I simply deleted the link.

It’s an interesting exercise.  I have numerous errors from sites I know are currently operational, so I’ll wander around at my leisure and see what needs fixing with them.
