I love these link dumps you do, but there's one problem (other than finding time to read them)! Every time you post a link to something on Haunted Ohio Books it's broken, nothing comes up. Any way to fix this?
ReplyDeleteWell, that's odd. Just now, I tried a couple of the links to Chris' blog, and they worked for me. I'll have to ask around and see if anyone else has had that problem.
DeleteIt's happened every time. The link to a specific article won't work but I can get on the website. Sometimes I can find the article you linked to and sometimes I can't.
Delete*Scratches head* I wish I knew what to make of that. Do you only have this problem with the links to Haunted Ohio?
DeleteJust wanted to let you know that the links to Haunted Ohio seem to be working this time. I would have posted on the current link dump but, for some reason, that isn't working! Probably my browser this time, it has issues every so often because of a script blocker.
DeleteOK, that's good. I know other people have sometimes had a problem with posting comments, but that seems to be an occasional issue with Blogger sites in general.
