New Webmaster Tools

**Mr. Tech** · 30th May 2005, 02:44 PM

I added a few more webmaster tools to the website.

Tools include:

HTML Validator
CSS Validator
Broken Link Checker
IP Address Locator

I also updated the Color Chart so that it is compatible with most of the major browsers. It also has a couple of other features added...

Good deal, Tech..

Have you considered adding the CSE Validtaor also?

I use W3C and this one but often find I like the CSE better. I believe you can also make a little affiliate money with it as there is advanced software version.

LOL, that has to be the lognest text field I've ever come across

It didn't find any errors on my site but it said the pro version did. I'll download a trial of it and see what it's like.

lol - I think you're right..

how you like the results though.

**Mr. Tech** · 31st May 2005, 09:22 AM

The results were good. Very detailed and easy to understand. The only problem is that it doesn't show all the errors. You need to Paid versions for that.

'doesn't show all the errors'

That's true, but in terms of this tool I think we'd have to say that it shows more than the W3C.

I know that sounds a little odd. However, I can get some pages to validate fine at the W3C, but in this tool I'll find some new recommendations.

I've not used it a lot, but I think those recommendations (or perhaps errors) are designed to move you toward XHTML 1.0 Strict..

**Mr. Tech** · 31st May 2005, 09:45 AM

I think you're right about the XHTML 1.0 Strict. I think W3C validates the page just for the doctype used... CSE is a little more picky...

I think it would be a good idea to use the W3C Validator and then the CSE HTML Validator. This way you've got two opinions.

Another validator is the one located at htmlhelp.com but it is very similar to the W3C.
