We have a Knol for Dummies.com winner!

Today, we're pleased to announce that the winner of our Knol for Dummies.com contest is "How to talk to your doctor" by Dr. Jennifer Frank, whose knol about "getting the most out of a short-but-sweet office visit" was selected for its quality, clarity, and usefulness. It will be featured on Dummies.com, and she will receive $1,000.

You can read Dr. Frank's knol here. Dr. Frank's tips on are just the type of authoritative content that makes great knols.

Congratulations also go to the four finalists, who will also be featured on Dummies.com:

• How to Calibrate Lag in Guitar Hero by Tom Nolan
• How to Make the Best Barbecue Ribs Ever by Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn
• Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Getting a Grant (But Were Afraid to Ask) by Rita Hubbard
• How to Make Great Coffee by Stephen Buchwalter and Paivikki Buchwalter

Thanks to everyone who participated in the competition. We enjoyed learning how to do so many interesting things — from the importance of being nice to the staff at your doctor's office to the difference between spare ribs and babyback ribs — and hope knol readers did too.
