I am so excited that I can finally access the site at work! Yay!!!
I wanted to say thank to all of you for being so supportive of my blog. I can't believe that in just two months I went from esssentially unranked to roughly 371K as of this morning. I could not have done it without all of you reading and commenting on my blog. I've even found myself on blogrolls of non-Yakezie!!! I've been going back and forth on whether or not to move to self-hosted and I've decided that once I break into the 200s, I'm going for it!
One quick question–for those of you with business cards for your blogs/sites, do you have a preffered vendor from where you got them? I need to order some for the Financial Blogger conference and I'm struggling with which vendor to choose.

I use Vista Print for business cards. They have some good deals every so often. Their shipping charges are a little high but the deal usually more than makes up for it. Here's one of their recent offers (affiliate link) 500 Premium Business Cards for $10 (plus shipping). They'll also try to upgrade your order but I always say no.

Welcome 1step. You should start to see a rank after a day or two.

Trying something new and joining the group! We'll see how long it takes me to figure out the forums. :-)
Welcome indeed FMF! It was good chatting with you on e-mail and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun and meet some good folks out here.
Look forward to seeing you around!
For those who don't know, FMF has donated over $100k if not $200k+ to charity from is site since inception! It is an incredible figure and inspiration. I would love to have you on a leadership role with the Yakezie Writing Contest Committee.
Cheers, Sam

Gail, give it some time. it might take it a few days to kick in for the Alexa ranking. I know it took a few days for mine, but my domain name and site were fresh off the produce bin too…

Hey everyone!
I've had the privilege of talking with a lot of you on twitter, but I finally decided to throw my hat in the ring on the Yakezie Challenge.
I look forward to getting to know you all a little better through the forum here and hope to add a lot of value to the group.

Doctor Stock said:
Hello everyone… I'm taking up the challenge. For me, the challenge looks like this:
- To assist others in becoming more successful investors, especially those who are Weekend Investors (that is, those with jobs, limited time, conservative approaches, etc.)
- To network with others who are striving to be successful financially in their own lives.
- To grow as a financial writer.
- To provide my perspective to those writing in the field of investing in the markets.
- To figure out a thing or two about web development (an ongoing frustration).
Thanks for this opportunity… I'm rated (after a week of solid push prior to entering this challenge) at 2,327,213… basically somewhere in the middle of web-no-where! I'm determined to help others… and hopefully develop as I implement your input and ideas.
Drop me a note… PLEASE… I'd love to hear from you!
I like your goals Doctor Stock! Welcome!

hi everyone,
I installed the Alexa toolbar on August 8th, and my ranking is not available I guess 200,000 is the mark to get to for me. I'm looking to devote more time to the blog as I've just finished my mba and looking to share insights that I've gathered.
I try and write as much as possible about my networth and how I try and improve it, thus I don't really share much personal information for privacy purposes. I've learned about this site through nodebtmba.com and can't wait to contribute to this community!

Welcome 1step! Your Alexa will get there, just takes time.
