About Alleycode

Alleycode is a free web editor that focuses on search engine optimization. There are a lot of built-in features and links to the Alleycode website so that you can check your site ranking, optimize your meta data, and otherwise improve your search rankings. One feature I really like is the conversion tool to convert HTML tags and text from uppercase to lowercase and back. Very handy.

Alleycode was acquired by Submit+ and is again supported. It hasn't been updated in the last year, but at least it's still available.
