"As someone said on Mastodon when I posted about #replanting, this does unfortunately break Berners-Lee’s rule that “Cool #URIs don't change.” I think he originally wrote that in 1998, when it was almost impossible to foresee the scale of #brokenlinks & parasite SEO we are living through on today’s web.
So, maybe that 1998 rule needs to be updated: Cool URIs don’t change, but sometimes they're junked or left to rot—in which case, you need a cool new #URI."

#Website designers and developers who redesign or update sites WITHOUT creating broken links are among our tech heroes!

Why? Updating broken links is very time-consuming, and it is NOT our favorite website maintenance task!

If you can volunteer some hours to help fix broken links in https://bit.ly/SkillsSafetyLaws (e.g., we just updated broken links to City of Marina municipal code, which we discovered while looking up sidewalk info for a teen this eve ) or elsewhere on our site, please contact us https://bikemonterey.org/contact-me.

And if you just want to report a broken link, https://bikemonterey.org/using-this-site/be-a-community-reviewer.

Also note: We still need a Ruby on Rails expert to volunteer for https://bikemonterey.org/boosting-small-businesses-via-discounts-for-people-who-bike-e-g-the-her-helmet-thursdays-project.html.

Muchas gracias.

One of the common challenges in managing a large website with thousands of pages is dealing with #BrokenLinks.

One source of broken links is organisations that change their name. Sometimes this is from mergers with other organisations (very common with charities) but often it is because of cultural changes.

This week I fixed a broken link on our site from an organisation that has changed its name *many* times...

Sometimes I update #old posts with broken #links by changing the link to a web.archive.org page.

(I loathe #BrokenLinks and the #EphemeralWeb.)

By default, the #Wordpress #plugin I'm using creates a Mastodon post on Update if it hasn't already done so. This might be a fun way to share old posts. (Or it might be dumb and annoying. Let me know!)

Of Reading A ?Random Post

Time Travel To A Random Post On My Blog

I have been posting on this blog for what feels like forever, there’s close to 1000 articles spanning 9 years…. This is where I live out My Immortality and sometimes I worry my older content will go unread….  Of course, I occasionally travel back in time to check out how my earlier posts have aged and like a gardener admires their garden I admire my handiwork….

I ran into a feature Goldie referred to as  ?Random Raiders! as learnt from Pendantry. Basically, what it does is pick a random post to go on a website, like a lucky dip of sorts, you never know where it will take you…

How to navigate to a random post on a blog

All you have to do is to type ‘?random’ after the blog’s address and it takes you to randomly selected article.

For Example: https://becomingthemuse.net/?random (and yes you can replace my blog URL with any other you want I just happen to be the landlord of this tangle of words 🤣 you are welcome)

Why Random Raiders?

Pendantry uses this feature as a collaborative maintenance tool one can use to check if all the elements on a randomly selected article from a site work. Imagine going to an article and finding it has missing images or broken links and videos that no longer work or maybe the information is outdated and no longer accurate.

While its great as a crowdsourcing housekeeping tool for a website, I have found it creates  a very interesting way of randomly picking posts like a wheel of fortune; round and round it goes, where it will stop nobody knows…..

So yeah take this random travel and do let me know where you wind up. Click the button below👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

PS if you discover any issues from my old posts that I should address I would greatly appreciate a heads up, please and thanks ^_^
