WSJ.com opening up more free content
Cory Bergman January 11th, 2008
In a possible precursor to dropping the subscription wall, WSJ.com announced that it’s opening up free access to editorials, video interviews and commentary. The video will include clips from the paper’s weekly TV show on the Fox News Channel, Journal Editorial Report. “It’s as close as we’ll get to conceding there is such a thing as a free lunch,” explains WSJ.com. AdWeek reports that News Corp. president and COO Peter Chernin said in an investor presentation this week that the conglomerate hasn’t made a decision on whether to make all of WSJ.com free.

Can’t find another way to get this to you guys– the about link, like many others, is broken. The broken links all have lostremote.com, followed by slash, followed by a question mark and then a pageid. Seems to me there should be the name of a script (php or otherwise) between the slash and the question mark that begins the query string.
Feel free to delete this comment after you see it.

Tim, make sure you are visiting www dot lostremote dot com instead of just lostremote dot com
The links are broken in the non www address

Yes, I come to the page via http://www.lostremote.com.
The “story idea?” link, for example, looks like this (http omitted to pass the filter I hope)
http://www.lostremote.com/?page_id=155

Weird.
Tim, the link you posted works for me if I have www in front, just lostremote dot com doesnt work.
Cory needs to fix his htaccess file to kick people over to the right URL

Cory’s aware of it. Nobody seems to know why it happens, but it does, to some users, sometimes.

So, what’s supposed to be there? index.php?

Tim - As it did for Amanda, your link and the one up top works for me. There isn’t anything between the slash and the question mark, inserting index.php also works, but all of those links appear formatted with relative addressing, so just the question mark after the slash should work.
Just trying to help
