Cyndi's List - FAQ
How do you do all this?

• "Work" on the list means that I do each of the following things daily. My priority is to take care of the first two points below before I do anything else, the remaining points are not necessarily in order of importance:
  • Answer each incoming e-mail message. I have an auto-reply message that helps to let everyone know what the scoop is with my latest load of work.
  • Take care of all broken links & problems first (after all, what is the point in putting up the list if I'm not going to stay on top of correcting broken and non-working links?).
  • Add new links as I find them.
  • Add new links as I receive requests from users of the list.
  • Organize and sub-categorize each page as new ideas come up.
  • Add new categories and links as I come up with new ideas.
  • Keep on top of new standards and all issues relating to web page design & maintenance in order to take advantage of all possible tools that will make the list as useful as possible while also making it as easy to use as possible for everyone regardless of their computer hardware or software.
• I have created each and every page on my site by hand. I write the HTML code myself and use NoteTabPro to do so.
• I periodically run a program on my site that checks links to be sure they still work and are accessible. The last time that I ran the program on the entire web site all at once, it took over 30 hours! I was pleased to find that out of my 38,000+ links, under 7% were broken or inaccessible - many of which were GeoCities links that were just temporarily inaccessible at the time.
