How to Add the New Facebook 'Like' Button to Your Blog Posts

Facebook has undergone some changes recently as you have probably noticed. I highlighted a few of the changes in my post last week 'What Happened to My Fans? Facebook Update'. But maybe the most significant change is the appearance of the Facebook 'Like' button all over the web. Listen to Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerburg talk about the changes at the April 23 Facebook f8 Conference.

I'm Hunting RINO! Let's Make them Extinct! - 04/23/10 01:06 PM
As the primary season approaches I am looking for honest people with new solutions to old problems; however, not primarily government solutions.  I do not mind tough choices and sacrifice; however, raising taxes is not the tough choice I am after.  Cutting services I can live with, even some of mine.
What I want for loss of "Government Services" is a vibrant and dynamic economy that rewards hard work.  I want a country that I can support my family in.  I want a country with as much Freedom as possible.
I support the TEA Party movement.  I will probably vote Republican, … (10 comments)

Monkey Fisted Bankers - 04/16/10 01:28 PM
Monkey Fisted Bankers
I understand that one way to catch a monkey is to put something the monkey wants in a milk bottle.  The monkey will stick his hand into the bottle and grab what it wants then will be unable to get the hand out.  The monkey will be so intent on holding onto the prize that it will not let go to get away as the trapper come to get him/her.
I do not know if the above is true, but it shows what part of the problem is with the banks crises.  The banks have been bailed out, … (6 comments)

Dear Seller - Ten Sure Fire Ways to Distract Buyers from Focusing on Your Home. - 04/09/10 10:03 AM

Via Noelle Blazevich (John L. Scott):
 This may seem a bit harsh but it is just plain speaking honest commentary regarding my experience as a buyer's agent.  The statements below are taken directly from the comments and behaviors of buyers viewing homes for sale.  It not meant to be negative but rather is meant to give sellers a bit of a look into the buyer's head.  A chance to see things from the buyer's perspective without the candy coating we agents typically put on things.
10) Leave your "friendly" dog roaming free inside the house when you know we are coming to see … (4 comments)

A Golden Opportunity In California to Double Dip on Overlapping Homebuyer Tax Credits - 04/07/10 10:35 AM

Via Janet Guilbault California Mortgage Banker/Broker:
If EVER there was a reason to get off the fence and BUY YOUR HOUSE in California, this is it. We're talking a once in a lifetime, 24 karat golden opportunity to have the government subsidize your home purchase for up to $18000 in tax credits.
But the window of opportunity is EVER so brief if you are going to attempt to double dip and get both the state and the federal tax credits.
Here's how the double dip works: The federal home buyer tax credit for first time buyers states you must be in contract to buy your house by April … (1 comments)

What does "highest and best" mean? - 04/05/10 10:50 AM

Via Russ Ravary - Michigan Homes for sale - Michigan Real estate & Mortgage info (Remerica Hometown One):
So your real estate agent has called you and says your bid is just one of many that the listing agent has received on the Southfield foreclosure.  He says you need to give your highest and best offer.
"Highest offer" means highest price.  But highest price doesn't always win.
"Best offer" comes into play now.  "Best offer" means the easiest type of offer to close.  "Best offer" means the least number of possible obstacles.  So I am going to list the "best offers" in order.

Garin Ranch Park
Garin Ranch Park is located in Garin Ranch on Lawerence.  Basically it is on the backside of Edna Hills Middle School and Garin Ranch Elementary School.  The two schools share some common open space that adjoins the park.
The local Pony Baseball League uses the combined open space for t-ball and coach pitch baseball for the little kids.  The park nearby has some great play structures for the other kids to play on.  It all so has a huge green belt that I often see soccer teams on and kids use for a number of purposes.

Arena FootBall League is Back.
Those of you who follow my blog know that I like Football, and I really like NFL Football.  But when I cannot get the NFL I love to watch Arena Football.  It is a great off season fix.
For those not familiar with Arena Football it is played indoors on a 50 year field that is also narrower.  There are 8 men on the field at a time for each team (5 line and 3 back field).  No punting is allowed.  The backfield can be in motion vertically as well as horizontally.  It is a wide … (3 comments)

Homebuyer Tax Credit Clarification for Californian's - 04/02/10 02:46 PM

Via Tim Lorenz (TIM LORENZ of Keller Williams Realty):
Homebuyer Tax Credit Clarification
The federal homebuyer tax credit is about to expire in 30 days. The homebuyer needs to be under contract to purchase a home by April 30, 2010 and to close the escrow by June 30, 2010. At this time there are no discussions of the tax credit being extended a third time. The first provision was set to expire November 2009 before the government approved the extension. Even the writers of the tax bill made statements about the likely hood of a third extension as extremely unlikely.
However, the … (1 comments)
