Friday, October 31st, 2014

Interested in your home values well, if you are near Michigan I’ve found a great source, Home Values they have you enter your address, you are given a map to confirm. This is where I was skeptical, you give them your name and email so they can send you your evaluation.

Usually when something offers me a free anything, I ignore it, but the site is nice and clean, so I went for it., Low and behold, a few hours later, I received information on my homes approx. value in todays market, and so much more.

What’s your home worth, I found a cool tool to get an evaluation free

I’m constantly building new tools, and searching to find new applications online, and today I found an awesome site for home values. http://www.patlotz.com/home-values.html

You enter your address in the box, it verifies it on google maps, and you get a free evaluation. Great looking site, fast, and free. Apparently they work with local real estate professionals to provide you a full evaluation with local important information and your homes estimated value in todays market.

Secure Any Form | Stop Spam Submission

Monday, October 6th, 2014

So,. a while back I had an intern, that grew in to a great webdevloepr. Along the way he came up with a great method to block spam posts on forums, contact forms and any other type of site you can think of,.

Basically it stops automated posting, and there are a couple of things you can do,

1) Create a div that is set to display: hidden; (div must be in the form you want to block spam on)
2) Add a text field to this div, with a name of “checkMore” and an id of “checkMore” value=””
3) In your form submission check’s usually performed via javascript if( checkMore != ” ) it’s spam
4) In your php/asp whatever it posts to,. check for the checkMore variable if it has a value you know it’s spam

That’s it,.
