Same height CSS Columns

By default CSS coders can not make same height columns with CSS in their web pages. This is annoying when we develop web pages with CSS. If you involve in developing or designing web pages you might encounter with this issue. In CSS we can not make same height columns unless giving the exact height in pixels. But there are situations that web developer can not give exact height to columns.

Here is a normal example of columns designed with CSS:
divs25

You can see that above two columns are not equal height even they containing within one main container (main ‘div’).

However we can easily use tables to make same height columns. creating web sites with tables are however not acceptable by XHTMl and manipulating with tables tricky. So we avoid tables to design web pages.

OK, let’s see how we can make same height columns using CSS.
There are few methods and hacks that you can apply. But my most favorable and effective method is using a handy javascript code written by Paul. Get the javascript snippet here (columns.js). The web site provides how to use javascript code to make same height columns in CSS.

Another method is using faux columns. It’s all about playing with colors and cheating visitors. you can add a small vertically repeated background image to main ‘div’ and using a clearing effect. Read more about faux columns.

But javascript method is welcomed by many web designers who create web sites with validated XHTML.

From time to time prices of some domain names are fluctuating.

Most searched key words on google 2009

People always interesting to know about what are the most popular search terms in Google and other search engines. Why people value highly those most searched key words?
The best answer to the above question is they need to know the trend and adjust their web sites and blog posts which addresses those key words to get the maximum visitors and thereby EARNINGS. Isn’t it?

We carried out a little research on most searched and most wanted key words of Google and other search engines. here are the results with analysis.

Google zeitgeist.
What is Google zeitgeist (meaning of the zeitgeist is : the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era)
Google zeitgeist provides useful all around data on most searched and most falling key words of different regions and years.

Here are the top 10 searches (Web Search) of United States during 2009.

  1. facebook

  3. you
  4. youtube
  5. yahoo
  6. myspace
  7. games
  8. my
  9. google
  10. craigslist

Did you see that Google is in the 9th place and facebook taken over 1st place on google web search. We can not exactly tell why people are searching for the terms you and my in Google. However my assumption is this is an effect of using Google tool bar. People uses short terms for youtube and myspace. When you search the web with Google tool bar, popular search suggestions generate before ending up typing. So people just hit the ‘Enter’ without selecting the suggestion.

Then we will move on most rising or developing key words on Google. There is list of 10 of them as follows:

  1. twitter
  2. michael jackson
  3. facebook login
  4. facebook
  5. juegos
  6. youtube.com
  7. yahoomail
  8. face :D
  9. coupons :(

Did you see that Google Tool bar effect also in here with the key word of face. And search for coupons led by recession.

  2. hotmail
  3. mac
  4. hp

  7. dell
  8. facebook
  9. firefox
  10. apple

Developing search / keywords of technology and computers are:

  3. explorer 8
  4. facebook
  5. msn
  6. gmail
  7. yahoo
  8. hotmail
  9. avast
  10. adobe flash player

It’s interesting that why google chrome is not in both of above lists. facebook dominates on each of above lists saying that people are more likes to be social and it is good news for Facebook admins and now they can concentrate about how to take the advantage of massive visitors. Yeah Facebook ads are a great way to capitalize the massive traffic.

It is true that any of a best web site’s performance greatly depends on that web site’s hosting provider. Without a good web hosting web masters can not spell over the Internet and get the benefits of running a web site.

Nowadays there are many web hosting companies and providers arising on the internet with promising to offer great features. it is undoubted that there is a huge competition between well renowned old web hosters in order to get the maximum hosting sign ups.

However before you deciding on which web hoster should be chose you have to consider few main things such as:

Reputation of the service provider:
As I noted before web hosting providers emerging on the internet in each day. Not all of these can not be trust because some offers fake promises with unbelievable low cost. It is true that different hosting companies targeting different strategies to enter in to market. Some offers low cost at the start of business in order to maximise it’s market share (market Penetration). The best thing you must follow in order to know whether the hosting provider is trusted, is by undertaking a research about that provider. You can conduct the research by investigating it’s “WHOIS” details, Web site Server information, DNS records, Up time reports, and various other methods. You can get help from following web sites to undertake your research on Web Hosting provider.

  • WHOIS Look up – http://whois.domaintools.com
  • www.domaintools.com
  • Research Tools – http://www.webhosting.info
  • Know it detailed in Wikipedia
  • Ask on Forums such as Digitalpoint and V7N forums
  • Use your common sense

Location of the data Center
Data center is the place where your web hosting servers located. Good data Centers managed by maximum supervision and operated based on Zero errors. Data Centers or Internet Physical servers operated my most countries. Some SEO strategists said that if you need to target a specific customers you need host your web site on local servers.

Cost of the Hosting plan
As I said in above you can found great amount of low cost Web Hosters. Before going to buying you should undertake a full research on hosting provider and company and also it’s physical server locations. Then you can decide whether continue with the hosting Company.

Speed of the Host
You should consider on speed of the servers. Because customers/visitors are more welcomed high speed loading of web pages to their PCs. If your web site’s loading speed is too low visitor simply get away from the site.

Other than above main features it is better that if you can consider on followings:
Age of the hosting company
Hosting plans they have
customer reviews
customer support etc.

There are lot of online services to shorten urls such as tinyurl, memurl etc. The main advantage of URL shortener is to break a long URL in to some characters which enables you to posting in a small space.

However most URL shortener services includes their full URL in to shortened URL and it is not short at all.
