Is there a way I can check my external links?

[noel123]

Being a newbie I did put this in the wrong forum so I will now submit it here. I sincerely hope that is ok? Can any one tell me how I can check external links to my site to see if they are working? Is there a program - hopefully a free one if not can anyone suggest any?
Thanking you in advance. Best regards, Noel.

Hi noel123,

there is a handy little program called xenu which is freeware.
I will put it on one of my sites for you to dl
click here (http://www.always-on.org.uk/xenu.zip)
it will scan each page on a site and follow any links to see if they exist although beware if you are running it on a dynamic site as it will loop for seems forever :)
