Research direction

Start with the known problem links in issues #8, #13, and #17, and review how Jekyll generates the _site/ folder. Determine how a TravisCI configuration could build the site and spider both internal and external links. Done means the existing broken links are addressed and automated checking can detect future link failures.

Description

help wanted

We know about a few problem links e.g. #8 #13 #17, but should check this systematically. There are also some external links which no longer work.

Ideally we'd have a TravisCI configuration to run Jekyll and then spider the _site/ folder to spot any link breakage.
