Unfortunately some old favorite links that I have used a lot in the past must have been moved, and are now broken.

I think the Radio Community needs some kind of transfer service. When a body moves to a new site, a directory could be created with the old address and the new address, so that someone else's site that had saved the old address, can find the replacement one. Or perhaps a plug-in that does the updates for us.

For every old rendered page, replace using a template with:

1. The name of the site and, where possible, the page title.
2. "This page has a new home. Click here to continue there or wait five seconds to be see it automatically."
3. A metatag redirection.
4. Referral logging, with a simple tool to notify webmasters via email of linkrot on their sites.
5. Link to the new home page.
6. Optional: site search form.
