I really do!! Thank you all. I been missing for awhile due to long hours of work at my full-time job. Plus, I am rushing to build a website that may bring in some extra income via advertisements. Once this is done, I can get back to my passion of stock investing and researching. Meanwhile, I started keeping a list of topics I would like to discuss on my blog.

 

Again, thanks for all the motivation and I plan to communicate with you all again when I get started.

You don't have to know a lot to write about it - in fact those of us who are still learning often write the best posts. Heck, I've been writing about personal finance for 3 years now, and a lot of people might say I still know nothing. :)

Go for it! I am also an engineer, and personal finance is a hobby of mine. It actually gets more motivated to learn to know that I have an outlet (a blog) to publish my thoughts to. 

Some of the best investing blogs I have read are http://barbarafriedbergpersona.....nance.com/, freemoneyfinance.com, and mymoneyblog.com. Take a look at those and read how they invest to get a feel for how to structure yours!

If nothing else, it will be fun to see how your writing/understanding of personal finance changes over time.  Write for yourself too, its a great way to pound the new ideas into your head.
