All we can do it tell him about it so that he can fix it, and it's not like he *doesn't* fix it when we do. So, sure, he can test the links when he posts them, and they work, but they don't necessarily stay that way. Now, if you had checked the link at the time of posting, maybe you would have gotten the right page. So, please lay off of Bart since he does his job the best he can, and let's face it he does it well. If you don't like getting several interesting links to projects and tutorials about blender every day, don't come to Blendernation. /rant... @Watashi- Often with these graphics blogs and so on, the page the that was supposed to be linked to could change after a few days as it gets archived and the front page is updated with newer material (as almost certainly happened here), so it’s hardly Bart’s fault when a link stops working.

It's nothing personal. But you can't say those statements are wrong, because you know it. You have to at least test the links after you post them. @Bart: Sorry about the harsh statements.
