    CP violated one of the fundamental rules of the Web ("Never change your links!"). Now it gets punished: Google doesn't find CP articles any more, at least temporarily. Try Maunder Grid Control[^]

      Or maybe some at Google decided to gradually remove all MFC search results from such searches :-)

          All my articles are mirrored on my personal website (www.voidnish.com). Google always gives twin results - so if the CP URL does not work, my website URL should.

              I totally disagree and that's why Al Gore invented HTTP error 301: permanently moved. Google search[^] This brings up my article. Click the article and see what happens. Better yet view the HTML headers that are sent to see the 301 in action. Saying you should never change links means you can never, ever rework your taxonomy, update your technology, or archive older material. It's not the link change that matters: it's how you handle incoming requests for the old link and there is a standard and accepted method for doing just that.

              cheers, Chris Maunder

                Also, we should all remember with respect and awe how the average half-life of an MSDN URL is about 4 days (including the day it was uploaded) :rolleyes:

                      is that the first hit is - wait for it: Blinking Cells For Chris Maunder's Grid Control[^] (and the google link works for me, too)
