A lot has been happening behind the scenes recently. I’ve been working on a few blog projects that I hope to have up in the next several weeks. Without giving it all away, I’m going to be running two informative and interesting series’ that I think everyone will enjoy.
One of my new initiatives has been the Interview Series, where I get to know some other bloggers that I think are doing a fantastic job. This month featured Monevator, Eliminate the Muda, and Little House in the Valley.
Blog Traffic
Also, I’m beginning to make updates to the blog and in a few weeks, should have a slightly new look. It will be more user friendly, and have a brand new header that I’ve been working on.
This month, readership has grown 26%, which is still beyond fantastic and will be tough to top in April. More importantly, the number of comments have increased dramatically lately, and I can’t be grateful enough to those who have build this community. It really makes everything better, and a 45% increase in the number of comments this month is something I’m very proud of and you should be too!
Yakezie Challenge
This past month, I sprinted up the Yakezie ladder and went from 142,090 all the way down to 79,724, which puts me in the top 50 on Wisebread’s top 100+ list of Personal Finance Blogs. I don’t know how much longer I can keep this going, but I’m very happy with my placement where it is. Now I just have to fight off the other Yakezie members!

I had a few posts that I really liked this month. I had a nice mix of guest posts this month as well of some signature posts that I put a little extra effort into. Here are a few favorites from March:
