Hedir Review : 404 in hedir XML file

nlgw · Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:56 am Post subject: 404 in hedir XML file - pls fix

The file http://www.hedir.com/rss2js/directory-list.xml
(syndication of directory list) contains (in the begin)
a link to http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about52.html
This link gives a 404 Page Not Found error

PLEASE fix.

Context (meta removed):
[begin of file]
rss version="2.0"
- channel
title>Hedir Web Directory/title
link>http://www.hedir.com /link>
description>Directory List - powered by Hedir Web Directory/description
- item
- title
- Add Directory To This List
/title
link http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about52.html /link
- description
- We are regularly updating this list.To add a new directory to this list click on the add directory link above.
----

Please NOTE that just removing the link won't help, because the comment refers to the link.
BETTER would be to make the old page, some people link to it.

NOTE: you should NEVER change a URL once it's published. If you make new URLs if text in it you should - at least - forward the older ones (mod_rewrite or custom 404 or ...)
