On the Three Names Archive page the prairie website link is broken, but this is the new one.

Got it! Thanks.

In this thread there is a link to Literary Devices in Children’s and Young Adult Literature that is broken. I did a search and found this site. I imagine it is the same thing?

Also in the science archive thread, the animal classification website link is broken. It seems to be this link now.

Got it, thanks!
