O<, here's the problem. It's a server misconifguration on your end. Take, for example, the `Our Work' stylesheet [1]. If you send the server at www.aim23.com a HTTP GET request, it serves you the file. If you send it a HTTP HEAD request, it returns 404, which is wrong. The link checker uses HEAD requests to reduce server load and network traffic. Unfortunately, you're using Microsoft IIS, so I can't offer any suggestions on how to fix your server configuration.
