Spell Check Your Profile on the Web

I'm probably the last person the web to discover this - but I've just found that Firefox, Chrome and Safari all provide built-in spell checking functions. Given the number of times I mis-type words like netwroking and marekting this can only be a good thing!

If you have a spare half hour I'd recommend downloading the latest version of your favourite browser and then checking through any online profiles for typos and spelling errors (they come underlined in red).

For information on the browsers use these links;

http://www.google.com/chrome
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

NB you may need to load a dictionary to make the firefox spell checker work - just right click on any web form and select Add Dictionaries

It's not entirely clear if Internet Explorer version 8 has a spell checker but no doubt it will soon - this is the link to download.
