How to Give DIV Columns Equal Heights

October 29th, 2008


If you’ve struggled to make two DIVs the same height for as long as I have, you will be happy to know JOATIT has found a wonderful solution.

 

Googling I found JOATIT’s blog post “How To Make Sure Two Divs Are The Same Height.” I used their code to align the height of the content and sidebar DIVs for this blog.

 

The post includes a simple javascript solution. Just insert the code inside the <HEAD> section of your pages and change the javascript variable names to be the same as your DIV ids. Comment if you need any help getting the script working.

The Best SEO Tools

October 28th, 2008


These SEO tools are powerful sources of information about how your website is viewed by search engines, as well as a useful way to monitor your SEO progress.

 

The following are a list of the best SEO tools I’ve found:

 

Google Analytics - If you aren’t using Google analytics yet, sign up, NOW.

 

Raven SEO - A series of analyzers that devour the SEO of your website to the bone. If you don’t want to sign-up for an account, you can quickly run Raven’s SEO analyzer to see how optimized your pages are for search engines.

 

SiteYogi - This tool ranks everything from your Google PageRank, and the value of your keywords, to CSS validation.

 

SEOMoz - A deep resource of SEO advice and tools. To get the most out of SEO Moz’s offerings you need to sign-up for an account, but they still offer a number of free tools, notably Trifecta, which checks the strength of your pages/blog/sites SEO.

 

Enjoy!
