The link-list in my main browser is of course quite a bit longer, and I will update and/or extend this page as I find appropriate.

side notes.

no link-farm
FAVORITES ONLY

Some create link-farms and apply other trickery in order to get higher search engine ranking. I prefer to find useful information when I search the web, and will only link to sites that provide some.

The ones I have listed are all good content-providers that deserve a place in my link-lists. Not a single one of the many that have contacted me for “mutual linking” over the years is listed anywhere, and I have no plans to change my policy regarding “mutual linking” for this site – it just won't happen.

search engine optimization

It is certainly an interesting subject, but I am not in the SEO business so I wouldn't know how to go about it. (Actually, I do know, but don't tell anyone.)

I don't know why I should bother with intentional SEO, as the few private sites I have launched until now are doing just fine without any SEO trickery. They ride on content alone – as they should.

My goal is to provide information and stuff that (maybe only a few) people want, and all that has to do with ranking and SEO is below my radar. If people want my stuff they will find it no matter what, and that is all that matters to me.

quality control

web accessibility evaluation tool
Getting a second opinion on document structure.
the free dictionary
When in disagreement with my tools' spellcheckers.
Validator.nu – HTML validator
To check if local HTMLTidy is set up correctly.
W3C CSS validator
In cases when I can't find my own CSS bugs.
web design on gunlaug.no
When in need of a memory refresh on my own design techniques from years past.
HTMLKit editor
Quite practical HTML/CSS/PHP editor.
Gimp image manipulator
Very good image handling tool.
Unicode® character table

The above covers the basics in webdesign and quality control, for me. Basics is all I need to do whatever I want on a web site, and what little “non-basics” there is out here won't improve it.
