Anyone one with working fingers and an internet habit has probably been weened on Word. Word has been the ‘it’ (and until recently only) writing software product available since before there was Web 2.0 even Web 1.0. Word is like an old friend, and like all old friends, sometimes it’s not so reliable. Take converting a Word document into an HTML document, for example. When you want to post something on the web, Word gives you the pithy option of saving your text as a web page.

Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, is a form of programming code that deals with the aesthetic layout of a webpage- including font, color, and layout, among others. CSS deals with document presentation, in comparison to HTML (or other similar code) that pertains to document content. CSS Optimizer, as the name suggests, makes Cascading Style Sheets even better. Actual CSS code is often sprawling and inefficient, which leads to larger files and more white space. CSS Optimizer compresses this code into compact lines of code. Users can enter in the former code via URI, file upload, or direct inp... read more
