Independent Online is one of my go-to sources, especially for South African news, because it pulls together the reportage and commentary from the whole array of Independent newspapers, meaning it serves as something of an aggregation source. Well, they are undergoing change, with a new physical appearance and somewhat different interface. It looks better and in the long run will probably be better. But I have noticed that some of the older articles (as in, pieces I downloaded this morning that were sitting in tabs) now draw just an error message.
For most of you this will mean little. But it does mean that many of my past entries (again — as in, possibly all of them that link to iol pieces before this one) might have dead links. It also might well mean that there is no real iol archive, or at least that the archive of stories wil be skittish for the foreseeable future.
