Moving MovableType, part III

After moving the blog, I regenerated the whole thing from the exported content. Links to articles in this blog came up as http://mcraig.org/mark/archives/000690.html.

Should be no problem, right? Theoretically that's correct. But a couple of times I had to delete articles, leaving holes in the numbering. I don't think MovableType left holes in the numbering when it regenerated the blog from exported content.

So W3C-LinkChecker online found only valid links, except for the ones to Amazon.com which didn't support getting just the head and so gave 405s. But some of those links might have been misdirected, semantically speaking. Cannot think of a way to let the machine check for those kinds of errors.

So if you go trolling through the archives and get a link to apples when you're sure it should be oranges, let me know.
