I have a problem with the Plastic Sax site. Too many of the links are outdated. I've spent way too much time this morning chasing dead ends. Any chance you can update them? Also, will you please add (my site) to you links?
Can you believe this guy? Still, I suppose he has a good point. I'm putting the local jazz community on notice- I've started the process of reviewing every link in the right-hand column. The dead links will be deleted accordingly. If you've migrated from MySpace, for instance, please email me your preferred address. Thanks in advance.

Seriously, though, isn't there a web-based service of some sort that checks and validates links on a given URL? I remember reading about such a thing, but don't have a link handy. Seems like it would be handy for at least a first sort of a long list....
OK, this is probably what I was thinking of:
http://validator.w3.org/checklink/
I think I'll run this on StLJN just to see how it works....
