    I designed a website spell-checker at http://www.spellery.com

    I still need to add many words to the dictionary, but what are your thoughts on the general design, and possibly ideas to make money out of this?

    Thats pretty awesome!
    You could always just add some adsense to the results page.

    I like the service but is there any way to actually show where the words are in the website? As it is now with just the list of words that aren't recognized it's not all that helpful. You still have to read all of the text and find the location of the misspelled words.
    If you could maybe make it so that the words are highlighted, sort of like when you view a cached search result page from google, then people could easily find the words.
    You could also take it a step further and suggest recommend spellings of the words that are wrong.
    I don't know what your programming capabilities are but you have an awesome idea and I wish you the best :)

    Very useful tool. Like the look as well...
    I entered the URL of one of my domains and found a few misspellings. It does bring back some words that are not misspellings, but I guess current dictionary publications haven't really been updated to include new age words.

    Looks very nice. Perhaps sign up for some webmaster tool-related affiliate programs and offer those on your site... or web hosting.

    Design is exceptionally good due to its simplicity. I have learned a lot from design.

    great. one thing- make a contact form, because some people get outlook express when they click the contact page, and dont have an account set up
