Website Grader
Search engine optimization has become one of the most important and blatantly juiciest parts of the Web 2.0 movement. Since massive changes in the way search engines work and with the help of Googles part in sparking the movement there has been a wildfire of new strategies for reaching the #1 spot on search engine result pages.
Some can agree that back in the day when AOL 3.0 and Dial-up was running the show that the most important parts of a website that mattered were speed, optimization, and relevant material. One: I didn’t want to wait 20 minutes to download these 100+ pages of Goldeneye 007 gameshark codes; Two: I didn’t want to spend 5 minutes waiting for a website to load and then find out it’s not what I was looking for.
The Website Grader gives your website a score by, you guessed it..grading and giving scores to various categories and sub-categories of your website (or someone elses) for a complete average. Basically, you end up with a test score.
The various subjects and categories it grades on include but are not limited to:
- Content and Blog Analysis, Grade, and Recent Articles with Retweets and Inbound Links.
- Optimization Tips based on Metadata, Headings, and Image Summery showing how many images your page contains.
- Domain information.
- Promotion and Marketing information including del.icio.us bookmarks, Link Tweet Summary, and a Twitter Grade.
Each of these, including the ones I didn’t mention can all contribute to the usability and promotion of your website which could ultimately lead up to more traffic and useful input. Keep grading, keep optimizing.
Color Scheme Designer

Color schemes are one of those things you just have to get right. You can sit in your room and play around with different colors for hours before getting the right mix for your website, painting, colored drawing, etc.
Now, this is mainly a webmaster resource since it contains hex codes for the colors but it has many other different applications as well.
It’s free, accepts donations, and works great.

Our Favorite Browsers

Browser competition.
It’s what motivated Microsoft to jump from IE6 to IE7, and now, to IE8. The spread of Firefox is what led Microsoft to add tabbed-browsing to IE. Sure there were others before it that did nearly the same thing, but Firefox has spread like…well, fire.
Firefox ranks good with me just because of it’s “addon” feature, in which their library is completely filled with a plugin for almost everything you could think of. Some of the more popular ones would be Ad-Block and it’s update. Right now we have a popular coming from the midst.
Google Chrome. It has been out in beta for a while and is still being updated all the time. I’m actually using the developer version. Sure the dev release isn’t the most stable but, I get extra features. Over-all here at the office we are big fans of Chrome.
If you haven’t tried it I suggest you give it a shot.
