The Best Of UK Garage 2000

i can’t find any remnants of that article sorry, but here’s the 2001 version we rescued from static-html-file limbo https://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2002/07/garage01_2/

i might dig around on archive.org…

i might take a copy and back-date publish it here

more tim f stuff from the wayback machine http://web.archive.org/web/20010412190455/www.netcomuk.co.uk/~tewing/gartim.html, as it says adapted from an earlier posting on his skykicking blog which steve linked to ^^

ok, so i’ve re-published that and the original link now works (via some re-direction magic)

how easy is it? hmm, well there are tools out there that can harvest dead links in the db (obv not so bothered by dead links that lead to external sites). i’ll let you know.

when we went to WP we (istr Tim H helping a lot with this) did incorporate ~150 static html files of longer special articles from the older netcomuk/ft.com sites that we’d kept throughout the ‘blogger’ era too.

they’re relatively easy to incorporate into WP as you can just put the filename into the ‘URL slug’ when you publish it and the re-direction trick gets the old links working again.
