Now there's a tool that will let you see exactly how your web pages display in almost any browser you can imagine. You'll find it at www.BrowserShots.org. Don't get carried away, though. You can chose to see any page on your site in dozens of browsers, but the process takes quite a bit of time and the more browsers you choose, the longer it takes. For priority service they request a donation, and that's a good idea if you're a web designer working on multiple web sites. If you just want to check your own site, though, the service is free as long as you don't mind a little wait for the results.
Bill Hartzer's Search Engine Tip #1 - The Title TagAugust 22, 2008 ::: Bill Hartzer has an excellent blog on search engine optimization (SEO, and he's started a series of search engine tips that I think you'll find very valuable.
The title tag is in the <HEAD> section of the HTML code for your web page. A very common mistake we see on web sites happens when web designers fail to pay attention to the title tag. We see pages that have a title of "Home Page" or "New Page 1". A little less extreme are web sites where every page displays only the company name in the title tag. Bill provides an easy way for you to check all of your title tags and make sure they say what you want them to say. I recommend his article. Check it out.

His
first tip deals with the single most powerful place for your keywords to
appear: the Page Title. The Page Title isn't what most people expect
... and it doesn't even "appear" on your web page. It displays in the title
bar of your browser (up near your browser logo at the very top left corner
of your browser window ... in the blue title bar). It's also used by all
search engines as the heading for your listing when you show up in the
search results.

12, 2008 ::: It's great news that Flash is becoming more search
engine friendly and there is no question that the addition of previously
unattainable Flash content to search engine indexes will prove valuable. But
sadly I would never tell a client that Flash can be a competitive medium for
search engine optimization. There are simply too many roadblocks that still
exist and need to be addressed before a Flash website has any hope of
competing with an HTML website on the basis of search engine optimization.
An all-Flash web site is still essentially invisible to the search engines.
