Yesterday I was trying to confirm that my Feedburner code was correctly placed in my footer on a new website. But I forgot how to view source. Seems simple enough. People that are techy take this kind of thing for granted. I couldn’t remember how I did it 9 months ago when I first set up my blog.
- Open the webpage that you want to view source.
- Hit CTRL U
- Bam
- It opens the source in a new window, and looks something like this…..
I don’t know how to read the programming language that it shows. Yet. But now, at least I can find it.

You might want to look at Firebug, a FF add-on. It’ll allow you to view the source code in-line with the site, and add / remove pieces as you’re troubleshooting and see what happens.
I just downloaded the Firebug add-on. It looks awesome, but a bit beyond my ability. I’m not sure if I’m quite up to editing code yet, but I’m working up to be able to utilize it…
