That's the problem with this and other "link to a link" postings, such as appear on the Kim Komando's website and others.

That is the exact reason I have railed before, about posting the any "link to a link" posts. Whenever Kim (or others) has/have a post, it can easily change with no notification. In fact, they usually do in time, and Kim changes her "Tips" and "Cool Sites" pages frequently. You can't expect her page to be static when it references pages from that static location. Somebody mentioning some at-that-time-current "link to a link" page will be obsolete in due time. So here we are with over a thousand messages, with maybe dozens of these sort of references, that no longer are any good. the actual page mentioned may still exist, and yet there in no way to easily locate them. grrrrr.

It is easy to resolve, of course, just don't give a link to her page. Instead reference her topic page,
and you probably should give Kim the credit as to how you "found" the topic page.

Don't know if I would trust that because I have read those sites that have you login where you see the text code you have to try and read and type in to login they say these bots are starting to read them. So if they can read them then they can read this plain looking text image a whole lot more easy.

Yea some sites are that way so you need to see if what you want to link to has another link to the post.
Like over at http://billpstudios.blogspot.com/ I can read this on " Weak Points in Keeping Personal Data Safe" and it is there right at the top of the page. But next time Bill post something then it moves down the page and then he Archives each month.
But he does a links to this post under each so you can get and post that link so I can read Weak Points in Keeping Personal Data Safe
and it will take you there and the link will stay good.
Some sites are harder to deal with and sometimes if they have a Print friendy link then that may help because your get just the one post and not everything else that was on the page that may change.
