Test your Site!

A friend of mine just sent my this link. It acutally checks for broken links in your website. Dreamweaver probably has some kind of funtion for that but I thought that was pretty cool.

Blog Topic #2: Can I get a Resourse?

I came across this website recently when I was looking for any kind of sparkle graphic. It's called Flashden. Even though I have taken the Flash Class I thought this would be a great recourse to find small Flash clips or videos, and fonts for your website if you needed something fast. You will have to create an account and add some money.
The prices are pretty good I think. If you have worked with Flash before you know how time consuming it can be, so spending 4$ for a Flash intro is not too much!?
They offer Audio too but why pay for sounds if you could use Flashkit?

Blogtopic #3: What is RSS

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a great way to organize and format web-based content. Instead of having to go to your bookmarks on your browser frequently to see if anything has changed, you get a feed if any of your favorite websites got updated. It's kind of a subscription to several newsletters at a time.

How it works: You will need a RSS Feed Reader (Example: Google Reader).
The feed readers work similar to an email inbox. Updated content on feed you are subscribing to will be marked as bold. As you click on them you’ll see the latest update and can read it right there in the feed reader.
The feed reader will notify you immediately whenever new content for your subscriptions is available.

Viewing your favorite sites with a feed reader saves a lot of time if you like to find information fast. Instead of logging into every single one of your blogs, forums etc. to check if somebody has answered just to find out nothing has changed you have all the information on one site.

Here's a link to a video I found that explains it very easily. I love that!!
