This is not my first blog, I’ve been writing a blog in Spanish since October 2003. It has some big numbers: 1280 posts, 2561 comments and 58 trackbacks.
And recently I noticed it had broken links. Lots.
So I’ve programmed a small tool to help me clean out the posts of broken links: linkcheck.pl.
I’m sure the tool isn’t perfect, but it has worked great with my blog and has found 4544 links, and 611 were broken. I say had and were because now they’re over thanks to linkcheck.pl.
The tool is simple: connects to your database and gets the posts. Then it looks for links and checks them, and if any URL it’s broken, it’s replaced with the text in the link. Simple and neat.
