    Authors have their books proof-read before going to print.

    Being a successful author has nothing to do with proof-reading ability.

    Now - I did a proof-reading course...

    Can you wave a bigger one than that??!

    Going back to the original topic, I think this is actually a good idea.

    If we write our own website text & check it ourselves, we are less likely to notice any errors than a different pair of eyes.

    I must admit to being a stickler for accuracy in spelling & grammar on websites, which is why I checked mine about 10 times...so if anyone finds any errors on it, I'll happily eat my shoe.
