Canadian Finance Blog

Canadian Finance Blog


Top 5: August 2010

Posted: 06 Sep 2010 02:00 AM PDT

First of all, I’d like to welcome the newest members of the Money Mavens Network. Continuing our goal to represent every niche within personal finance, we are now joined by Monevator, The Military Wallet, The Centsible Life and Deliver Away Debt!

Last month I announced that we’ll be adding book excerpts and the Canadian Finance Carnival. Both of these will start this coming weekend. So on Saturday you can read great posts straight from some of the top books in personal finance and on Sunday you’ll be able to find links to posts that other bloggers have submitted to share with you.

Do you have a blog with relevant personal finance posts that are applicable to Canadians? Submit a post each week to gain some link love and traffic. Please check out the Canadian Finance Carnival page for details!

I also mentioned wanting to pass the 1,000 RSS readers mark. Well, we’ve spent most of August above 1,000, so thank you to all that have added Canadian Finance Blog to your RSS readers!

Finally, the newsletter is still on the way. There will be two versions, one that brings you each full post daily (replacing the current feedburner email) and another that will summarize each week into one email. Both will include special offers and giveaways. So keep your eyes out for that around mid-September!
