Appraisal

Robots.txt (a piece of code designed to limit crawler activity within a website) was ignored.

Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://brainwashed.com/mumma/ and gordonmumma.blogspot.com/ in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

gordonmumma.blogspot.com/, an external site, was included due to its contextual value to the site that is the focus of this crawl.

Flash audio files on the site were not captured due to technological constraints.
