The Simple Dollar Morning Roundup: Posting Schedule And Other Changes Edition 17comments
After reading the multitude of comments on my Should I Slow Down? thread from yesterday, I am ready to announce a number of changes to the posting schedule at The Simple Dollar.
First, on regular weekdays, I am moving from six to four posts a day. The general consensus seems to be that I should slow the rate down a little bit but not significantly, so I’ll do just that. That way, my crazy fans who visit the homepage multiple times a day will still have lots of juice to read.
Second, I am going to compress the “52 Books in 52 Weeks” book reviews. Instead of spreading the review out over an entire week, I will basically just write one long single review of a book and post it on Fridays. For those of you who were overwhelmed by the daily book reviews, you’ll probably be happy about this change – for you, it will almost seem like the posting schedule hasn’t changed at all except for the removal of the daily book review piece.
Third, on weekends, I will only post twice a day instead of the regular three times. This goes along with the overall slowdown in the posting schedule.
Fourth, I am going to launch a personal productivity blog. I was originally working on a blog on the topic of blogging, but it was really clear in the comments that a personal productivity blog was preferred, plus there is more overlap between personal finance and personal productivity than there is between personal finance and blogging. Why make them separate? I know based on earlier reader survey that there is a significant portion of the readership here who does not want to read significant material on personal productivity issues.
These changes will start on Saturday, as I basically have the rest of this week plotted out carefully. The productivity blog will come along in a month or two once I develop the concept a little more.
Now, are we finally ready for some personal finance posts?
Surviving Paycheck to Paycheck? You Can Still Start Saving “I can’t afford it!” is nothing more than an excuse to start saving. There are so many ways to trim fat from your budget that you can afford it. (@ brokeass student)
Money or Time Envy? A good question that gets right to the core of the issue. I want money because money buys time. I want to “retire” at age 50 so I can do a lot of stuff that requires some significant time investments that I can’t afford right now. (@ middle class money)
The Simple Dollar Retro: A One Day Commitment Some people have a hard time committing to serious financial changes, so instead of making a long term commitment that you can’t follow through on (like many people do with diets), instead try a one day commitment to changing your spending habits. This was a very powerful technique for me to use in breaking my early spending habits.

There’s a need for yet another personal productivity blog? There’s TONS of them that are doing a very good job. The need for bloggers to constantly jump on and off the “hot-topic-of-the-month” is narcissistic and counter-productive (pardon the pun). Spread yourself thin and it shows. Stick with your meat and potatoes and do it better than anyone else – you gain respect.
Gerard: I might gain “respect” by posting so much a day, but many of my readers have flat-out told me that they want me to slow down. My solution is to start another blog – and a personal productivity blog is, again, something directly requested by the readers. So that’s what I’ll do.
thank you for yur help :)
After the allofmp3.com website has been closed, I found an other good site http://www.mp3-sea.com, where practically everything can be found (more than 1 000 000 tracks).
And where do you download your favourite music from?
So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don’t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.

I’ve received e-mail from my acquaintance with invitation to Harkness Private Foundation investment program, I’m investing since 2002 in different HYIP and small investment projects, and I would like to receive some general feedback from anyone who’ve used HPF’s services, and received payment (s) thanks.
Hey!
I just checked out The Rasmus new Fan Page on Facebook where you can play the latest tunes from the BLACK ROSES album…
The fifth song “Your Forgiveness” is so much better than the “Livin’ In A World Without You” single… don’t you agree?
I know everyone has different tastes and all, but seriously,
the fifth song definitely sounds better than the first!
Listen (and become a fan) here:

Go-Jamaica hosts marketing seminar on power of the Internet
Put the power of the Internet to work in your business” was the slogan used in The Gleaner Online’s third annual Internet marketing seminar, held at the newspaper’s North Street central Kingston offices yesterday.
Dr Felix Akinladejo, lecturer of Internet marketing at the University of Technology (UTech), as well as managers, students, entrepreneurs, representatives from advertising agencies and marketing consultants, were in attendance.
“Internet marketing is the field of marketing or advertising a business on the World Wide Web. Because the Internet is so dynamic and is always changing, it is important that you keep up to date with the developments and designs that will enhance your web presence,” said Hope McMillan, project manager of The Gleaner Online and seminar presenter.
Participants for the over-subscribed seminar discussed an array of Internet marketing issues around how to expand your online reach and how the Internet can work for your business.
Marketing solution
The Gleaner Online team took the time to walk participants through various types of Internet marketing solutions, in particular, ad formats and properly utilising websites.
Based on a survey conducted after the seminar, the attendees expressed satisfaction with the venue, the information given, the length and way the information was presented and the level of interaction between the presenter and the audience.
“I’m sorry I came so late. The information was good and it cleared up many areas of concern,” said one individual.
The Gleaner Online’s Internet Marketing Seminar 2008, was considered by all a huge success.
Because of the large number of registrants, some could not be accommodated. However, another seminar of this nature will be held soon.

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. says it will modify the terms of $70 billion in troubled, mostly adjustable-rate mortgages it holds.
The New York bank inherited many of the loans as part of its September purchase of a failed competitor, Washington Mutual Inc. (NYSE:WM), and its move will cover as many as 400,000 borrowers. J.P. Morgan said Friday the borrowers will be moved into loans carrying lower interest rates, smaller principal amounts or other more-affordable terms, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The move came shortly after the bank received a $25 billion capital infusion from the U.S. Treasury’s program to strengthen financial institutions and get credit flowing.
“Our goal in doing this was to come up with something that we think will lead the industry in helping as much as possible on this issue,” said J.P. Morgan executive Charles Scharf.
John Taylor, chief executive of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, said the action was “a gutsy move on their part. They are bending over backward to try to reach out to these people.”
