How to Put a "You Might Also Like" Widget on Your Blog

I've been blogging for years but it wasn't until recently that I became interested in adding widgets and other features on my blog. First up, the "You Might Also Like" widget. After much asking and searching here's how I was able to add this widget on my blog.

1. First, go to LinkWithin. It's a free widget creator. No signup required.



2. On the lower right part of the page, fill out the form on the box. Then click the Get Widget!


3. You will be redirected to a new page containing the instructions. Then you will be asked to click on a link to install the widget.

Easy, isn't it?

Very Cool Inventions

From time to time I find myself in a situation where I hope things are a little bit nicer and easier. Wouldn't it be cool to have your sunny side up every morning looking like a ray of sunshine? Or probably leaving some heart prints as you pass a road. That would be so much fun! Good thing, some inventors/manufacturers thought so too. Look at these cool inventions that are sure to give a smile on our faces.

Tadd and All-Star Ellenore - Contemporary

Tadd Gadduang and All-Star Ellenore Scott (season 6) danced a contemporary routine choreographed by Sonya Tayeh. Music: The Gulag Orkestar by Beirut



What Can I Say?
This routine is crazy! I love Tadd and Ellenore. I was amazed at the unique stunts that he is capable of doing. And I kinda agree with Nigel here. When Sonya and Ellenore come together, it's bound to be epic and crazy. Tadd is so strong. There is no doubt that he pulled the routine quite nicely. But I kinda see where Nigel is coming from when he said he wished there would have been more dancing. I agree. No doubt that the routine was sick. But there's just too much stunts going on and very little dancing. But, nevertheless, it was amazing. There are so many great pictures created. I hope this won't land Tadd in the bottom because I really want him in the finale!

Marko and All-Star Janette

Marko Germar and All-Star Janette Manrara (season 5) danced a Paso Doble routine choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin. Music: Zorongo (Traditional) by Antonia Gomez, Ely "La Gambita", Guillermo Basilisco & Paco Peña



What Can I Say?
I love Marko and Janette. I don't want to say anything bad about Marko. This style of dance is just not for Marko.

Sasha and All-Star Kent - Contemporary

Sasha Mallory and All-Star Kent Boyd (season 7) danced a contemporary routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio. Music: Fool of Me by Me'Shell Ndegeocello



What Can I Say?
Normally, I'm not mad about Tyce's choreography. And for this season, Sasha isn't one of my favorites. But right now, this routine just made me love Sasha. She's starting to grow on me. She just went beyond Melanie on my list of favorites. And of course, I loved Kent in season 7. The routine was breathtaking. I can't describe how wonderful I felt while watching it. It was passionate. It wasn't too full of rage or anger. It's like their movements are very calculated and calm. Yet you can feel the intensity radiating from them. It's just so beautiful. Kent's pirouettes were amazing. And the lift where Sasha jumped on Kent's shoulder was the bomb! I loved it! And that last lift, it was the perfect finish. Perfect picture at the end!

Melanie and All-Star tWitch - Hiphop

Melanie Moore and All-Star tWitch Boss (season 4) danced a hiphop routine choreographed by NappyTabs. Music: Roman's Revenge by Nicki Minaj Ft. Lil Wayne



What Can I Say?
I always love NappyTabs. I think they are creative and their storytelling is amazing. I also love Melanie and tWitch. But I'm not as excited about this routine as the judges were. I don't know why. I can see how strong Melanie is. She matched tWitch the whole time. But I still haven't seen her grow. I still think she's being way too safe with the styles she is getting. It doesn't show her range as a dancer.
