Free Pixel Measuring Ruler
One of the most annoying things when designing or modifying a theme for a blog is getting all of the pixels right. Obviously when you’re photo-shopping images and logos etc… it’s breeze because they come with pixel measuring tools. But when you’re trying to make something fit, or just seeing if it will fit into a certain space on a web page you have to go through a long and arduous process involving a lot of trial and error.
The pixel measuring ruler, pictured above, takes care of all that. Its basically a window which looks like a ruler. You can move it around on top of any program to measure the width of something. It also features a small slider which you can move to get the exact measurements. The section we’ve shown here is just over 400 pixels wide but the entire ruler extends to 1,300 pixels.
The ruler and be positioned vertically and horizontally depending on what you’re measuring. It’s a quick program to start up and best of all, it’s free. You can download the pixel measuring ruler here.

If you are running FireFox I would highly recommend the MeasureIt addon, it works perfectly.
