Don't Break Your Website Links! - 12/18/2025 Blog Entry

This is the first blog of the site! Nothing like turning an obstacle into an advantageous situation.

As I was doing today's updates for Venus Territory, I came across a website on my search engine that offered a solution to the problem I was facing, cache problems.
Oh my surprise, the link was broken!
This is not the first time I encounter dead links and it is awful. What I think when that happens is: "man, if this person is lazy enough that he doesn't fix dead links, then his creations must be lazy too".
Now, I get it. You are doing website restructuring and all of that business, but even then, keeping the links working is not that hard... You know that html redirections exist, right? You can also do it in JavaScript. Check Petrapixel's Cache Busting tricks.
People will like you more if you keep your links working. Try to do your web development work locally, only updating the version that's online once things are polished enough. It would also work as an off-site backup in case things go wrong in your main computer.
The point of this blog post, take care of your creations!
