After a computer glitch or hacker ate my last Links page:

 I thought about it a couple of days after I decided (after an hour of work or more on the links page) to republish the June 24th Links page because I lost the most recent links page I worked at least an hour or more programming it in HTML.

However, I also realized how to avoid this problem in the future when I have to put that much work into a single article when programming in HTML. 

The first trick was using the edit function and copying HTML HREF code in a format that is blank code in that if you have a template you simply copy and repeat this code over and over again once for each link you are creating:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<a href="url">link text</a>

However, it cannot be in a non-HTML page that you are creating. IN other words if you are using a type of automatic coder or an encoder you cannot write directly into HTML in that format. It must be an HTML page set up for HTML coding.

Also, I realized since my last LINKS page was "eaten" by either a computer glitch or a hacker or something like this is that there are ways to prevent this problem in the future. 

Here is one of the ways to prevent this kind of problem from occurring. It's true no way is going to be 100% effective against hackers or hacker bots or something like this.

However, if you code your HTML page and then make 3 copies of it before you save it and name those three copies different things then each copy when it is saved has a different URL. So, even if one or even two copies get eaten somehow you still have other copies to default to in an emergency. Especially when you are doing this much work on coding something and making it work right you want extra copies named different things with different potential URLs in order to not lose the work you are doing like I did.
