Website Management Tools
Keeping a web site at it's best and ready for users can
be a time consuming and repetitive activity. You need to:
- ensure all the links are valid and the information on the
linking page is what you expect
- check for missing images
- copy all the changes you made to your primary or development site
to all the servers your users access
- watch how your users go though your site to optimize flow
- monitor your log files for user statistics
If a site is small, the task is manageable. But for large
sites with several hundred pages and thousands of links, the
job gets harder.
Fortunately, there are many programs and system features to help.
We will share with you the things we do to keep the WDVL in order
and some other ways to solve the same problems. Since many web servers,
especially the ones hosting The WDVL, use Unix operating systems,
we have some Unix help.
