<p style="text-align: left;"><!--eapfooter-->I sincerely apoligize if your blog didn&#8217;t make the cut.  This probably means one of two things.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">First, your site is already popular or second, 11 or 17 Top Personal Blogs of 2030 just doesn&#8217;t roll of the tongue quite as nicely.  I still love you though.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Feel free to share one of your favorite blogs in the comments below!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">PS: Right now I am 30,000 feet over the Atlantic ocean.</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-8114" title="What Kind of Girl Does Tim Tebow Like" src="http://dummiesoftheyear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/What-Kind-of-Girl-Does-Tim-Tebow-Like.jpg" alt="What Kind of Girl Does Tim Tebow Like" width="250" height="337" />For those who may be confused about why I chose to write about this allow me to explain.  This is a keyword phrase that keeps ending up in my search terms.  Though I haven&#8217;t written on this topic I keep receiving traffic for it.</p>
<p>I could approach this from a satirical point of view but I took the women into consideration who keep searching for the key word phrase &#8220;<strong>what kind of girl does tim tebow like?</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>So here is the real answer:</p>
<h3>Tim Tebow&#8217;s Kind of Girl</h3>
<ul>
<li>She must be a genuine follower of Christ.</li>
<li>She must have noble character.</li>
<li>She must bring good and not harm to her marriage.</li>
<li>She must have the determination to become a better lady than she was the day before.</li>
<li>She must be considerate of other people.</li>
<li>She must speak with words of wisdom.</li>
<li>She must not be boastful but let her actions prove her worth.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for the very best social media widgets for your website?  A great social media widget can make it super simple to turn visitors into returning readers!  I recommend the 2 following social media widgets to increase your subscribers and followers.</p>
<p><strong>Advanced Social Widget</strong></p>
<p>For only 8 dollars you can have an <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/advanced-social-widget/1189066?WT.ac=search_item&amp;WT.seg_1=search_item&amp;WT.z_author=Broady?ref=theplainblog" target="_blank">awesome social media widget</a> with tons of features.</p>
<h3>Set Up the Social Media Widget</h3>
<ul>
<li><img class="alignright" title="Widget" src="http://dummiesimages.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dashoard-widget-options.png" alt="" width="215" height="482" />Choose the width for the social media widget.</li>
<li>Give your widget a title.  You will notice in my sidebar that I chose <strong>Subscribe for Free and Boost Your Dummy IQ!</strong> as my title.</li>
<li>I recommend that the social networking icons open in a new window so that your readers don&#8217;t leave your blog.</li>
<li>Your blog traffic can share your posts to Google Plus, so go ahead and activate that option.</li>
<li>Activate the social networking icons.</li>
<li>You have the option to display titles under the icons.</li>
<li>Fill in the info required for Delicious, Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, and Feedburner.</li>
<li>Save your settings.</li>
</ul>
<p><!--eapdivider--></p>
<p><strong>Here is what the Advanced Social Widget will look like in your sidebar.</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Advanced Social Widget" src="http://dummiesimages.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/screenshot-mainwidget.png" alt="Advanced Social Widget" width="288" height="256" /></p>
<p>If you like this widget then please go to <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/advanced-social-widget/1189066?WT.ac=search_item&amp;WT.seg_1=search_item&amp;WT.z_author=Broady?ref=theplainblog" target="_blank">Advanced Social Widget</a> to purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><!--eapdivider--></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>WordPress Social Counters &amp; Ranking</strong></p>
<p>I won&#8217;t show you how to set up the <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-social-counters-ranking/1080332?ref=username" target="_blank">WordPress Social Counters &amp; Rankings</a> but I did want to share with you the features.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Only 6 dollars, making it 2 bucks cheaper than the Advanced Social Widget.</li>
<li>Email Subscription Box at the top of the widget.</li>
<li>Display Twitter Followers.</li>
<li>Display Facebook Fans.</li>
<li>Display your Feedburner Subscribers.</li>
<li>Display Youtube Subscribers.</li>
<li>Display Digg Followers (Digg is dead, right).</li>
<li>Display Forrest Followers.</li>
<li>Display Stack Overflow Reputation.</li>
<li>Display Google Page Rank.</li>
<li>Display Alexa Rank.</li>
</ul>
<div><img class="alignright" title="Widget" src="http://dummiesimages.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/front-screen.png" alt="" width="248" height="280" />The one thing I do like better with this widget over the Advanced Social Widget is the ability to display subscriber count.</div>
<p>If you like this one better or just want to save two dollars, then go to <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-social-counters-ranking/1080332?ref=username" target="_blank">WordPress Social Counters &amp; Rankings</a> to purchase.</p>
<p><strong>Which social media widget do you prefer?  Share in the comments.</strong></p>
<p><em>PS: These widgets will not work on WordPress.com blogs.</em></p>

<h3>Help Me Cheat!</h3>
<p>I would love for you, my readers, to offer a question with the answer (and an optional reason) in the comments below.</p>
<p>The format would go something like the following:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Question: How much Norris could Chuck Norris chuck if Chuck Norris could chuck Norris?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Answer: Chuck Norris.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">(Optional) Reason: The sum of Chuck Norris is always Chuck Norris.</span></p>
<p><strong>Bring your A game.  I look forward to what you have to offer!</strong></p>
<p>PS: And of course this is the cheat sheet, because if anybody ever found it, they would have all of the correct answers.</p>

<p>I have had slow loading issues with all of my sites.</p>
<p>On Wednesday I decided to take advantage of my hosting that I still have at Dream Host, so I pointed this sites name servers to dreamhost.com.</p>
<p>Some of you saw the changes very quickly.  3 of you left a comment.  I apologize because those 3 comments don&#8217;t exist anymore.</p>
<p>Because I live in Germany I had to wait around 50 hours for my internet service provider to clear their cache before I could start working on Dummies of the Year.</p>
<p>I now have all of my posts and our comments imported, all plugins downloaded and extra code (Google Analytics, Text Adlinks, etc) configured.</p>
<p><strong>I hope that you will have a quicker load time with my new host.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you this site doesn&#8217;t load more quickly, then feel free to give me $100 a month so I can purchase dedicated hosting <img src='http://dummiesoftheyear.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>

<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> You and Big Ben were a match made in football Heaven.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> Football? American or European?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Europe doesn&#8217;t play football. They play soccer. You know, a girl&#8217;s sport.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> Would you like me to give you a name, or would you prefer to choose one yourself?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Give me a name.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> No, you have to give me a name.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Your name is Tim Tebow.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> Correct.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> What is tebowing?<br />

<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> I don&#8217;t understand. Can you please explain it?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> I&#8217;d rather not. Anyway, do you watch tv?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Only the NFL. Do you think you will win or lose this weekend against the New England Patriots?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> No, I don&#8217;t think I will.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Wow! What does your team think about that?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> I don&#8217;t think about my job.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> What consumes your mind?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> The only place my mind goes is to sleep.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> Who will be in the Super Bowl?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> Don&#8217;t follow football.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> How about you ask me a question?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> What kind of music do you like?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> I like Oktoberfest music.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> Which song do you enjoy the most?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> They all sound the same to me.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> That&#8217;s a very ignorant statement don&#8217;t you think?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Scholar Mel:</strong> (Now that Tim is warming up to me, I decided to ask my question again) What is tebowing?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Tim Tebow:</strong> It&#8217;s an ancient colony of trolls, that live deep in the mantle.</p>

<h3>Upsetting Ads</h3>
<ul>
<li>1776: First political ad.  I wonder who approved the messages?</li>
<li>1950: First television political ad.  Maybe I just have something against politics&#8230;</li>
<li>1970: The first infomercial appears.  If this never happened, we would never have known what slicing and dicing was.</li>
<li>2001: Pop-up and pop-under ads appear on our screen.  &#8221;You are the 1 millionth view today.  Click to claim your prize!&#8221;</li>
<li>2006: Youtube includes ads on their videos.</li>
