if you are writing a blog you should probably link exclusively to archive.org or at least add archive.org urls to your footnote because while its not perfect it is much less likely to be susceptible to linkrot when somebody in a year tries to read your blog and that article you linked or that image you embedded is gone

@iitalics maybe save a link you can fall back to and periodically check like the wikipedia archive-link bot (yes I'm overengineering)
