Validate all your HTML from a Google Sitemap

Thanks to a few Google searches, I came across a cool web application to help automate and simplify the process which uses a sites Google sitemap to help validate pages.
That’s right, validate your entire website in one shot! No need to manually check pages anymore. Just set it and forget it.
The application written by Chris Riley is called Website Validator. Pretty catchy name don’t you think?
How it works is you enter your sitemap URL in the box and hit Validate. Bam. You’re done.
Magically it will validate each page in your sitemap and report back on any that don’t validate.
Keep in mind that if you have a large site full of content and dynamically generated pages, it could take a while to check everything.
Don’t worry because remember, it’s automatic. You can set it and walk away, then come back and check your results.
I ran my own site against it earlier and actually found a few posts that needed some fixing.
I still have a couple more to clean up but with this nifty web application, it won’t take long to track the issues down.
