Link Rot!
Well, kids, the Chronicle launched its new website last week, and the old links to my Chron stories don't work any more. I have asked our tech folks whether the problem is likely to go away (ha!)--whether, in other words, those old URLs will eventually redirect readers to archived stories on the new site. I may have to go through and change the links by hand, though. If you're looking for a story of mine in the meantime, please drop me a line and I will send you a working URL. [Insert platitude about technology making life harder.]
UPDATE 7/31/09: I am told that this problem will go away soon. Exactly how soon I don't know.
