Quick Web Page Checks

<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>
How often have you seen a webpage called "no title" a quick Google search yields over 1 million. The Title tag is probably the most important meta tag for page optimization and over a million pages have just squandered it!

I've previously encountered problems with Firefox not displaying styles correctly or should I say differently to Internet Explorer. <LI>I sometimes use an HTML checker like CSE HTML validator.</FONT></LI></UL>
