TECHNOLOGY TIP: ONE WAY TO VERIFY YOUR BOOKMARKS: USE FRONTPAGE

“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils” -- Hector Berlioz

Bookmarks are only as useful as the links they contain. Checking the links manually can be time consuming, especially if you have a couple thousand links to verify.

Save time by using FrontPage to automate the link checking process. Here is how I do it, using FrontPage Version 4.0.2.2717. Your version may require slightly different steps, but the fundamental concept remains the same.

1) In your Web browser, export your favorites (File --> Import and Export)
2) Open FrontPage
3) File --> New Web
4) Within FrontPage, navigate to the folder containing your bookmark file and open the file
5) File --> Save As --> Save the file to the folder containing your New Web
6) In Reports view, click Verify Hyperlinks on the Reporting toolbar.
7) Click Verify all hyperlinks, and then click Start.
8) Alternatively, with your Bookmarks page in view, right click and click "Verify Hyperlinks"
9) After a few seconds or minutes, depending on the size of your Bookmarks file, you will have a report containing the success or failure of each hyperlink attempt. Sort the "Status" column of the report to cluster all the broken links together, and you're done.

Here is my Desulfurization Organizations Bookmarks file for you to practice on. When I ran it through FrontPage, it found six (6) broken hyperlinks.
NOTE: to make this work, it is best for you to copy the following text, then paste it into a FrontPage New Page, using the Normal tab.
