I should probably create a Firefox extension category ’cause well, I love them so. Especially the ones that help me do my job. Thanks to an article over at 456 Berea Street, I’ve found yet another Firefox extension to post about. It’s called HTML Validator and I heart, heart, heart it.

It places a little icon down at the bottom of the status bar and lets you know if a page is valid, invalid or has errors. My site has errors due to some javascript. I know this because there is a little alert icon with an exclamation point in it. Kit Simons, I’m jealous, his site has a green checkmark. Google and several other sites I’ve visited get red x’s. Red, yellow, green—like a stoplight. The nice thing about this nifty plug-in is it shows where in your source code there are errors. How great is that?

Okay, so I’m officially wearing my geek badge right now but I can’t help it. If you had any idea how many web pages I touch in an eight hour day, you’d be excited about anything that made your job easier.
