I upgraded Wordpress today to the latest version. Hopefully, the Subversion checkout method will make upgrading easier. I changed to a clean new Theme too. While looking through the links posts that I previously posted, I thought that I would start the laborious task of adding proper titles and fleshing out the contents, adding tags and generally making them into real blog posts. However, the link on one of the first posts I looked at was broken. Typical. One of the reasons I started this task was inspired by the thought about whether to outsource blog hosting to a commercial site or whether to do it all myself. i.e right down to writing the blogging software. This thought came about due a session at the recent Tokyo BarCamp about whether we can trust our content to commercial sites. Now I am wondering whether to go through all the old posts and fix up the broken links. Is there any blog software that captures the page that you are linking to in case it goes away? I decide to go and do some tidying up as there is a lot of information here that I have forgotten and it must have been interesting to me in the past to make the effort of writing it down. I’m going to start getting in the habit of searching my own site first for links and to write my notes here as I have the feeling I am searching for the same things over and over. After all that was what the first “homepages” were about. It was your site, your browser’s homepage.
