There are a multitude of URL-checking programs...and I'm sure we all
have our own favorite.  But please get a real program, that checks
real webpages, and doesn't require you to type in anything.  I happen
to be fond of CyberSpyder, from www.cyberspyder.com, though there are
others.  I think it cost a whole thirty bucks.  It provides reports in
print, or as webpages (greatly preferred), and also checks your HTML,
though not as perfectly as some products designed for that purpose.
It will still clean up most of your goofs.
