Linux Tip O' The Minute: Net Renderer (Works for Mac too) See what your site would look like in IE without IE

netrendered screenshot asktheadminFor all you Linux gurus that detest the big bad Micro$oft and would never let any type of windows software on your machine, there is a way to easily preview your latest web creation as PC users will on Internet Explorer 7, IE6, and IE5. Just enter your URL and NetRenderer will spit back at you a screen shot of your requested versions view.

Its called NetRenderer I had to check my spelling on that one 3 times. It works great and has a ruler to boot!

A Snippet from their website about their web app:

This web rendering tool is ideally suited for web designers working on Apple iMac and Linux workstations. It allows [you] to verify web designs natively on all popular Internet Explorer versions, without the need to set aside several physical or virtual Microsoft Windows PCs just for that purpose.

I would also like to take this time to thank our new guest bloggers El Di Pablo, Justin and The Slothman. We are very happy to have you as part of our site. Keep up all the great work and I love the posts! You guys are great - I know there are end users out there everywhere loving you guys right about now!

Keep posting the questions and we will keep posting the answers!
