The Missoulian introduced a redesigned web site this afternoon. Unfortunately, this screwed up every inbound link to their stories for the past several years, not to mention trashing external search engine results from outfits like Google. Apparently, we’ve got some teething problems here. It’s going to take quite a while to clean this up. In the meantime, readers of this weblog looking for linked Missoulian stories will need to dig them up based on topic search at the Missoulian’s web site.

Sorry, folks, there’s not much we can do except work back through the posts and try to clean up all the link rot introduced by this “upgrade.” Fixed-up links will be flagged with [link repaired]. We’ll not likely go back more than a month or so, though — just too much work.

Update

Well, it looks like the Missoulian’s new search index is incomplete for articles prior to about August 1. We’ve fixed up all the August story links. We’re not having much luck for material prior to that date.
