Subject: Bobby changes hands again


If you have provided Bobby links on your pages to check for accessibility,
they all have to be changed now.

bobby.cast.org now goes to bobby.worldfire.com and instead of just
forwarding requests, they drop them back to the main page.

The syntax hasn't changed, just the hostname:

http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/bobbyServlet?advanced=true&;URL=http://yourh
ostnamehere.tld/

BTW there are some Bobby/WCAG bookmarklets at
http://www.1122productions.com/brandon/archives/000824.html

which are very good... Hopefully the author will update them soon to
reflect the new hostname, but it is easy to edit them yourself if you have
them on your machine.

TjL

ps -- it seems to me that this has happened at least once before when the
old links were to something like 'validator.bobby.org' and then had to be
changed to 'bobby.cast.org'
