Browse through and use what you need. If you have an idea for a new kind of tool that you need, and I could build, leave a comment. Maybe I’ll put it on my to-do list.

Submit Trackbacks with a Form

Trackbacks are great, but not all blogging platforms and websites support them. Solution? Submit them from a third-party form – like the trackback-via-form tool I wrote.

You provide all the necessary information – the trackback URI and your webpage’s information – and the script sends the trackback to your target. Pretty nifty tool for publicizing websites that don’t have built in support for trackbacks.

Text Cleaner Tool: Remove Newline Characters

This is a simple tool that can come in handy for uploading articles to your own site or to article directories. If you used hard line-breaks to format the article for print or for e-mail, you’ll need to get rid of those new-lines. Just copy and paste into the form, and those newline characters will be a thing of the past.

Form to Encode Sample HTML for Display

If you want to display sample HTML for the user to see, you need to jump through a few hurdles. With this tool, you can copy and paste HTML into the textarea, hit submit, and get text that has all of the special characters escaped for you.

Copy and paste that on to your page, and it should appear as a perfect snippet of sample markup. Check out the HTML encoding form here.
