How's it looking your end?
If you're a less-than-serious web designer, as I am, you may not know how your site renders in other browsers that are inaccessible to you. BrowserCam will take screenshots for you of URLs you specify in a number of browsers, platforms and resolutions.
The catch (yes, there's a small catch) is that you have to pay some money, although it's only $1 per URL or $40 for a month's unlimited use. Or you can sign up for a free trial period of 8 hours, which is what I opted for. My first attempt reminded me to take out the width CSS property for my main content area, and my second set of screenshots showed me that something worrying happens between my site and IE4 (Here's the saved screenshot.) Does anyone know what's wrong? I know my stylesheet isn't exactly the cleanest CSS you've seen - I really should tidy that up, given that I wrote it when I was still very new to CSS.
Anyway, my trial period expires in just under 5 hours (about 00:30BST) so I'm not sure whether my screenshots are all going to vanish then. I suspect they might. Still, it's good while it lasts.
