ReplyDeleteTom: It worked when I first published the piece on Monday and tested all the links--as I always do before notifying people via Twitter / FB about a new post. I'll just now "googled" her blog's title and got the same error message when trying to click through. I also tried to click through on her url listed with her Twitter account; same error.
