Well, hello everybody!
I'm really new here so pardon my ignorance on everything.
First, I will just say that I'm excited to join the challenge. I think what Yakezie does for finance bloggers is a tremendous thing and I'm really looking forward to getting to know many of you.
I simply wanted to introduce myself, explain a little about me, and open the thread up so I can get to know some of the active members here and some of the new challengers.
So, I started my blog http://worksavelive.com back in late November. I work full-time as a financial coach and advisor and just wanted to start a blog to expand my reach on educating people about managing money.
While I currently post 3-4 times a week, I'm a little worried about my ability to build solid relationships (simply due to time contraints) with people here but I'm going to work and make that a priority.
I don't know all of the members here, but I've read a couple of the blogs and have even exchanged emails with Crystal (Mrs. BFS).
Other than the BFS blog, I've read Free Money Wisdom, Sweating the Big Stuff, Beating Broke, Free From Broke, and Retire by 40.
Thanks and please let me know about your blogs and I'll look forward to looking through them!
All the best,
Jason

Really professional looking design! I like it. It sounds like you've got a lot of relevant knowledge to pass on. So I'm sure your blog will do quite well. The time constraint will likely be a challenge though. It is a lot of work to manage a blog and effectively network. I'm still figuring it all out, but there's a lot to it. Best of luck going forward.

Thanks for responding!
@SpringCoin – really like the blog layout. That's pretty awesome. I followed you back on Twitter and I'll be sure to look through your site a little more on Thursday and Friday!
@ModestMoney – certainly doing mind working hard and getting up early, but there is only so much one person can handle. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for replying and I'll be sure to dig through your site a bit too tomorrow!

Hi Jason! I would be honored if you would add The Single Saver to your list of frequently read blogs!  All kidding aside, welcome to Yakezie. It is indeed a great group.

Thanks everybody for the welcome! This forum is quite amazing…you all seem so friendly.
I appreciate the kind words about the site. If I'm ever able to make any money then my plan is to get it redesigned, but for now I think it works!
@Dollar D – best of luck to you too!
@This That and the Other – work, work, work is right. I don't mind it. I just hope I can manage everything well. How many here blog full time?
@TacklingOurDebt – Thanks! Good luck to you too.
@jaicatalano – My announcement blog will be out tomorrow. I appreciate the reminder though!
Thanks for everybody's reply. I'll be sure to check out everyone's blog(s)!!

It is great to see that I am not the only new challenger here :) Everyone's sites look so professional – is a paid theme a 'must' if you can't create yourself one?
