footer location

What is the best way to set the footer location to always be at the bottom of the page regardless of amount of content? For example, footer on home page looks great but on about page in ends up being up near the middle of the page. Thanks.

Since I don't know how your div tags look like, try this: 

    bottom: 0px;  
    position: Fixed;  
    width: 100%;

If it's still screwing up, you can play with the padding like so: 

   padding: 10px 35px;

/* This should work */


footer {
   position: fixed;
   bottom: 0;
   height: 30px;
   width: 600px;
   margin: 0 auto; 
   background: #3f3f3f;
}
