  My blog now has over a hundred posts and obviously contains the odd link here and there. Is there a way to periodically test these links to ensure that the targets are still valid?

  We can’t help you without a link to the blog, starting with http. If it’s an Adult blog, just warn us first.

  It doesn’t need any particular blog as I’m talking about WordPress.com blogs in general. (Yes, mine is adult in nature).

  Is there a way for blog writers to test their entire blog’s links, without just clicking on them one by one?

  There certainly is, but only for WordPress.org blogs.

  If you google “site link checker” you will find one by W3C (World Wide Web Continuum) and also one by webmastertools-toolkit.com. I’ve used both on occasions although it has been some time since I did. Webamstertools-toolkit.com you have to enter every page on your site individually, but if I remember right, you can have the W3C link validator scan entire sites if you get the settings correct.

  Actually I’m wrong. W3C checks by URL also rather than the entire site.

  Ah, I was wrong as well. Thanks for that.
