A great tool for testing the look of your pages without spending the time installing and maintaining a bunch of different computers is Browser Shots (http://www.browsershots.org). It not automated or as complete as Browser Cam (http://www.browsercam.com) but its free. I like using it for quick tests of pages. I say quick, but you sort of have to babysit the site if you pick more than a few browsers and the pictures are deleted about 30 minutes after being created so if you miss them you may have to resubmit them to see the screen shots.

I remember my Grandmother telling me this story with different animals but the parable was the same idea. Just sort of rediscovered this in catching up on some reading last night. If have never thought that focus and knowledge were important you might want to read this short page and the pages from Chapter 5 of his book that Jim Collins makes available. The Hedgehog Concept Chapter 5, Pages 90-91 of Good to Great I bring up the whole thing as I find myself distracted everyday from the things I know well (.NET) to the things I don’t know very well and don’t have lots of experience in (PHP, Perl). Simply because a client may hire me based on the right words. After rereading this parable of the Fox and the Hedgehog I am reinvigorated to not try and do PHP or Perl sites, I hate it anyways, and stick with what I know...

Hosed the web.config upgrading this site to 4.9.2. A lesson learned back up your web.config file even if you have double checked you are not uploading a new one!

I know there are other sites out there for this and I know some have been posted in other blogs but if anyone is needing it here is a little bit of help for people needing to post code or code clips.
