Safari Apple Mountain Lion OS X

Have you just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion opened Safari 6 and went to view the source of a web page only to find Apple have moved it?  No problem, PCTechTalk has you covered.
Safari 6 is the latest update Apple's browser and comes as the default in OS X Mountain Lion.  A number of features have been added/removed or simply moved somewhere else, but you already know that otherwise you wouldn't be reading this!

Safari 6 has an all new web inspector (think of it as Apple's take on Firebug for FireFox) this is where you will now find "View Source".  Firstly though you must enable the Developer Menu.  Follow the simple steps below and you will be up and running in no time.
  • Open Safari and visit the Preferences
