Last night I was reading A List Apart and on their front page was a link to the "Editor's Choice" article. It was a great article and I clicked on the author's link at the bottom of the page. I was sent to a parked domain page on some webhost.
There are a few points I want to make about this:
1) The article was from 2002, so linkrot is to be expected.
2) A List Apart is a premier web design/development site, and shouldn't have linkrot.
Having a blog since 2002, I figured I had some linkrot of my own. Boy, do I ever.
Naturally, my first month blogging was very prolific and I had to kill about half of the posts. Many of the surviving posts needed editing to either update URLs or remove entire sections. Others were removed simply to save face.
I was amazed at how many links were still good.
I know some other bloggers read this. Have any of you done a similar exercise?
This project will be ongoing. Please revisit as updates are made.
I have found it helpful to do the stretching exercises my physical therapist recommends. Do some core strengthening exercises, such as the ones highlighted at The Mayo Clinic. By keeping your core strong, your back won't put itself in a position to cause that sciatica pain you are having.
