Mark Perry is one of my favorite bloggers.


Most of the time when I link to one of his posts, I get this:


503 Service Temporarily Unavailable.

The link works.

Instead of doing the simple insert link: Type out the text of what you want the link to say: such as "Link" or "Click here" and then highlight that text and click the hyperlink icon, then enter the URL (without http or https) and select the correct protocol from the drop down selector.

When this happens to me, I copy the page title, then edit and replace the error message on my post

See how I made Stony's link work, but it displays what I wanted it to display? My method doesn't require parsing of the link to identify the web page title
