If you received 100 email notifications from my website in your email, like John Brownstone did this morning, I am SO sorry!
I’ve found a new tool to use that fixes broken URL links in blog posts, pages, and comments, and apparently, if a link in a comment is changed (because it no longer works), anyone subscribed to the comments of that post will receive an email notification.
Oops!
I can’t find a fix for it, so if this happens to you, please know I’m not purposely trying to spam you.
I really like this tool, Broken Link Checker plugin for WordPress, if you’re interested, so I’m going to use it. But if your inbox blows up with emails about old posts, feel free to delete them and move on.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing other back end “stuff” (it’s a technical term) to my website, so this is me apologizing in advance for any other weirdness that happens.
Mmhmm… technical term… I see what you did there… hehe ?

I am SOOO sorry. I know it doesn’t make a difference but I really did those in batches. My plan is to only to a few comment links a day and focus on the links in the content – hopefully that will lower the number of emails per day until I get all of these cleared up.
No worries, I figured it was a glitch. Hope it doesn’t plague you for too much longer!
Probably for a while – since if I do it all at once you could end up with 1000 emails you don’t want. But slow and steady always works best. 🙂
I think you were trying to keep me otherwise occupied cleaning out my Inbox while you were off getting some “stress” relief.
Yes, that’s EXACTLY it, lol.
