Alert: It may be a good idea to republish the whole blog once in a while

Recently, someone asked a question in the comments section, and I answered giving a link to one of my older post. She alerted me to the fact that the link lead to a blank page. I checked and confirmed her finding. Not only that, I went into the Dashboard, click EDIT POSTS and then click VIEW against that post. That too lead to a blank page. I copied the URL, pasted it into the address bar. That too lead to the same result. Just to make sure it wasn't something in the post itself, I copied the content of the post editor in the HTML mode and pasted it wholesale into a duplicate post. That post was viewable, showing that it wasn't anything to do with the content of the post.

I posted the problem on the Google Blogger Help group, stating the problem and asking members to verify if it was so and if they may know of the reason/solution for such a problem. Wasted responded, advising to republish. I republished the whole blog, and sure enough, that problem link then lead to a viewable page, not a blank page.

So folks, it may be a good idea to occasionally republish the whole blog to avoid such incidences.
