Ahrefs Webmaster Tools finds a bug in tumblelog
In the afternoon I signed up for Ahrefs Webmaster
Tools (AWT) which is free for website
owners. In the past I've used the free Backlink
Checker, also by Ahrefs, to
find new links to my blog. But because the checker shows only a subset
of backlinks it's very limited in use. So I was pleasantly surprised
that AWT shows all backlinks to Plurrrr. And
more, in a short time I was able to find a link still pointing to the
http version of this site (fixed). Moreover, I found a bug in my own
static site generator,
tumblelog: the first of
December 2019 falls in week 1 of 2020, but in the calendar view of
2019 the week number links to
2019, not 2020. This results in a missing page error, 404, which AWT
neatly reported. I plan to fix this issue the coming weekend.
