			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spell checking functions are built into many tools these days including Microsoft Word, blog editing programs, and even now into browsers such as Firefox and Opera.  However, this doesn&#8217;t stop web publishers or bloggers (including me!) from slipping and including an occasional spelling error into our posts.</p>
<p><img  style="border: 0pt none; margin: 4px; float: right;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2453946177_2667ebe9ff.jpg?v=0" alt="netmechanic" width="211" height="94" class=" alignleft" /><a title="NetMechanic" href="http://www.netmechanic.com" target="_blank">NetMechanic</a> aims to help. Begin using this service by entering in your URL on their website. Their robot checks your site for spelling errors and gives you a report based on its findings. You can specify a custom dictionary if you&#8217;d like the service to ignore certain words. Additionally, you can set NetMechanic to check either a single page or go drill down 20 pages into the site.</p>
<p>A new site called <a title="Spellr" href="http://spellr.us" target="_blank">Spellr.us</a> goes one step further.  The site, currently in a closed beta, will offer hourly, daily, or weekly analysis of your site and will give you a visual image of the page containing the spelling error, annotated with strikethroughs.  Pricing is hard to find on Spellr&#8217;s homepage but if it&#8217;s kept at a reasonable rate, I could easily see publishers paying for this type of service.  Perhaps a more efficient way for Spellr to operate is to scrape a blog&#8217;s RSS feed and provide error notification using this as a tool.</p>
<p><em>How do you keep track of the grammatical health of your site?  What&#8217;s your method of monitoring these types of issues?</em></p>
