Addition Of External Online Tools

As one of my readers kindly suggested via the site improvement survey, I've extended my collection of online tools with more tools offered through other sites, namely:

• Markup Validation Service offered by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). I think I've been harping on this too much, so I'll simply refer you to my post Why Is It Important To Validate Web Pages?
• CSS Validation Service offered by W3C as well. The rationale here goes much along the same lines as that of the markup validation service above.
• Accessibility Validator Bobby maintained by Watchfire. See Writing Accessible Code In ASP.NET for details.
• Browser Cam is a really great service which creates screenshots of your page(s) in different browsers across a multitude of operating systems. It allows you to be 100% sure your design with look right across the board. In contrast to other services listed here it's a paid service.
• Lynx Viewer emulates the text-only web browser Lynx. Before you start laughing at the idea of someone using a text-only web browser think about it this way: not everyone has eyesight or motoric skills to use mainstream browsers. Not everyone is blessed with a cable modem either. Also, and I love saying this, what Lynx shows is pretty much what a search engine sees too. Search engines don't see your Flash or JavaScript or images. Don't miss this train.
• Screen Size Tester. I love running Unreal Tournament 2004 at the highest resolution, with 32bit colors, highest-detail textures, shadows and fog. My video card and monitor allow this. By far not everyone can do this. Quite a few people still run at 800x600. The Screen Size Tester allows you to take a look at your own site at various screen resolutions that are still in use today. I find lots of blogs simply unusable in my SharpReader because smaller screen resolutions (SharpReader's preview pane, for example) simply weren't taken into account. If Josh demands Support the Comment API or I Won't Comment my rebuttal is, Support at least 800x600 or I won't read your blog. I can bet your readers/users will find your site much more usable too.

Again, thanks, Alister, for ideas! In the meantime I plan on rolling out one more .NET tool of my own making. I'll keep it hush-hush for now. Stay tuned.
