I got a note from @sophistatiki on Twitter yesterday letting me know that a good many of the links in yesterday’s link roundup were going to the wrong place. I’ve fixed the links and they should all be going to where they’re supposed to now. So if you’ve missed yesterday’s link roundup or got frustrated because they weren’t going to the right place, you can visit the corrected post here. Enjoy and thanks for the heads up @sophistatiki!
Now, yesterday’s glitch happened because I broke one of my own rules for blogging and web design. I launched yesterday’s post without properly checking all of the links (there were a lot of links after all). Before you launch a post, or a new web page, or a newsletter that has links in it, take some time to click on all of the links and make sure that they are going where they’re supposed to. You might not have a reader like @sophistatiki who will take the time to let you know that something’s wrong until months later.
In addition, you might want to take a quick spin around your website on occasion to check for things like incorrect links, broken images, and features that don’t work properly. I wrote a post about the importance of doing periodic check ups on your website a while back ago and it has a list of things that you’ll want to check out. You can read the post here.
