Equality: A jQuery Plugin
Equality was written to fill what I believed to be a gap in the logic of Equal Heights. Like Equal Heights, the purpose of Equality is to set height of multiple elements equal to one another, however, unlike Equal Heights, these elements do not necessarily have to be in the same container. This is a very minimalistic approach to the matter, however it serves its purpose for my projects.
Using views_embed_view
The need arised to display a single content type — which included a conditional field that separated the content into two categories depending on that condition — in a block depending on which category’s landing page a user arrived on. Following? No? Alright….
Assume you have two factions of one website, for example’s sake, lets say you’re building a summer camp website that has a girls side and a boys side. A cookie is set when a user arrives at domain.org/boyscamp or /girlscamp that simply states which page they landed on. Both sides have campfire nights that they would like to publish on the website using the same form, with a condition boys or girls, but only one of the sides is going to display in a single block. The website is the same for both sides with the exception of …

Anyway, here’s the patch. The issue was product IDs being called incorrectly in the mysql query. The fix is working well for me, but if you have any issues let me know.
Google SEO: Fact or Faked
More and more we’re seeing “SEO Expert” companies popping up selling services that promise “guaranteed #1 search results!!!111″. Anywhere from national businesses catering to specific markets, like dental practice websites, to local companies taking advantage of potential client’s desires to support other local businesses — some even offering very technical sounding monthly reports of how well your website is doing on The Googles. But, the sad truth of the matter is, all you’re subscribing to, most of the time, is a temporary PR bump resulting from exploitation of Google’s current indexing algorithm.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that no company exists that may include genuine optimization in a design package — there’s thousands of them, but as the general rule of thumb goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Eventually, these practices are going …
