    1. Bad Links? - How do deal with them?
    2. Greetings Maury list. Some of you have been having difficulty with links on the Maury County Cemetery Web site. That probably is because I am continually changing the site by, adding pages, upgrading the information, and eliminating any errors that might exist. If you use a bookmark to find something deep inside the site it may not be active if the links have been modified. For instance I recently changed the spelling of Reece to Reese in the Reese’s Chapel Cemetery. That actually involved about 1,500 files and uses of the misspelled word and the correction was made programmatically. Anyone with an old link bookmarked to one of the 300 or so pages in the Reese’s Chapel Cemetery would get the message; “link not found” Anytime on the Internet you have difficulty with anyone’s site refresh your link by going back to the top level menu (or link) and finding the point in the site you are interested in. Do that by clicking into the site as if you were going there for the first time. When at the highest menu level and only then progress into the sub-level of menus to where you wish to be. Then you can save that link and hope for the best that it will not change again. If so just repeat the find again procedure mentioned above. If you only have a bad link and nothing else delete the right most portions of the URL back to the “/” until the link becomes live and into the correct site you are looking for and progress according to the above mentioned method.
