WEB DEVELOPER TOOLS

This section is like raiding my workshop. Everything I find useful in developing my own sites, will be listed here, more or less in the order they're used--ALL FREE, NATURALLY. Some of these could be listed in multiple categories, so I picked one and cross-referenced the others.

If you have a favorite developers' site that isn't listed, please send me an email.

Have you been hearing the new buzzword, dofollow? Here's a great Squidoo lens on that topic. DoFollow: Increase Your Backlinks with DoFollow Sites DoFollow: Increase Your Backlinks with DoFollow Sites

Check for domain name availability.

If you're wondering if a domain name is available,
you can do a quick search by clicking on the banner, below, then scrolling down to where it says "Sign up here."
Enter the name you want where it says "New domain search." You can check other extensions,
but don't click anything else except the "next" button on that page.
You can search for as many names and extensions as you want.
You are under no obligation to continue the sign-up process.
If you do apply for a site, they will ask for a credit card at the end--hosting is free--domain registration is not.
