Greetings fellow bloggers! 
  
I've decided to join the Yakezie challenge. I wanted to join about 2 weeks ago, but life got in the way, so I am starting now.:) I started Money Sanity on November 7th 2010. I have made 45 posts since then and my Alexa ranking today 2/1/11 is 1,192,229. I hope to buckle down and get it under 200K by 4/1, although I am not sure what the optimal way to do that is….  
  
I've just spent the past half hour reading your posts and have been reading a few of your blogs for some time. Great to join such a knowledgeable group!  
  
Thanks!

Welcome aboard. 
  
Follow the advice Financial Samuari posted on his introduction to the challenge.  Follow it to a tee and you'll be under 200k before you know it.

Hey Alan, great to see another Philly blogger on here!  I know there are at least 2 of us from this area (Kelly @centsiblelife) and myself.  But I think there are also a lot of folks that lived here at one point or another as well.
