The
Broken
Links
Nightmare - Presenter:
Ralph Leonard
Nothing is
worse than having a
researcher send you an email
telling you there are broken
links on your site. Just as
terrible, however, is
reading the email for your
site's peer review to find
that your site has failed
because of broken links. In
this session, Ralph gave step-by-step
instructions on the use of Xenu
Link Sleuth to find broken
links on your site, identify
their type and location, and
how to repair them. |

"The Oscar

that together created the
life of a growing community.
Tens of thousands of glass
negatives of Grossheim’s
work have been saved to tell
their stories to future
generations.
Ms. Chaudoin is the photo
