First Post in 2006
Hi !!!
This is my first post in 2006 and that too after a very long time. Last time I held myself back from blogging because I was working on a blog tool which would have helped the publishers and the readers of the blog from clicking on a broken link in the blog post. But, I didn't proceed with that one.
The idea was simple: You add a java script snippet to your blog template. The script will look for all the external links you have in your posts and if the link is newly added it will try to store the status of the link - Active, Inactive, Moved out or Warning. When the user accesses your blog for each link will display the last checked status of the link when the mouse is moved above the link. The user has the option of checking for the current status of the link before he actually clicks on the link. By this way the user experience will be much enhanced. Also, with the status you will see the title of the page when the status was checked for the first time.
But I discontinued with that development, because I got satisfied that I was able to solve the problem with AJAX and JS. If somebody is looking for that kind of an utility, then please let me know. I will be happy to share the details with you.
Even now I am currently working on a concept which I think should be usefull to others. I am thinking of applying for a patent for that one. If anyone have any idea about patents then please help me.
Catch you soon.
