    Congrats on coming out! I’m too open about my money/expenses/income to give away my true identity. I sound like a horrible 90s movie that has about 4 sequels.

  3. richminx Says:

    Thanks Pearl. This blog was originally Blogspot but I moved house. It wasn’t too hard.

    SavingDiva - that makes sense if you are sharing personal information. I try not to get too personal, especially now my name’s up there. One thing I have learned from years of blogging is you just never know who might be reading!

  4. Steve Says:

    Good on you for coming out with your name. It doesn’t really make any difference to your content, but it definately gives you more credibility, and as you said yo SavingDiva, you shouldn’t get too personal anyway…. just keep writing good content.

  5. richminx Says:

    Thanks Steve. Yeah, I had credibility in mind when I did it. I didn’t want people to think I was hiding. But that doesn’t mean I’ll start writing about secret crushes or favorite colors. Plenty of other sites for that!

  6. Daniel Sitter Says:

    I enjoy your writing style and that little bit of sassy-ness you exude Shona. I hope you find great success.

    I do applaud you for presenting your picture as well as some details about yourself! One of my pet peeves is discovering a blog where the identity of the writer is completely hidden. I tend to lose interst fast!

  7. Shai Coggins Says:

    Do’h. I actually thought you wrote about cats when we met and we exchanged cards. Now I feel real silly. I should’ve really spent more time chatting to you. Now I just gotta go hide. Heh.

  8. richminx Says:

    Hi Shai,

    That’s understandable. I could’ve made things clearer on my card and it did have a big picture of a cat on it! No need to hide. And actually I am planning a cat post today…

    Hi Shona,

    Found my way to your blog by way of Jon’s ArtofMoney.org. You have an interesting blog here that I enjoy reading, so I thought I’d let you know. :)

    BTW, can you tell me the name of the plugin you use for the Anti-spam word thingy? I need to get rid of all those Viagra and Cialis distributors who keep coming back to my blog. Yeah, some of them get through even after I installed Akismet. *sigh*

  10. richminx Says:

    Thanks Hock. :)

    It’s called Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam. Works a treat.

  11. pearl Says:

    hey - I remember now I was the first one to comment on your about page :) your site is really beautiful with color scheme, design as well as content Shona… well, I am still not comfortable going with too much of personal info! may be in time…

    And I really like the bulleted list here…

  12. Resident Alien Says:

    Just had to add you to my blogroll.
    You really write well.
    Your husband/boyfriend must be proud of you :)

  13. chtanxw Says:

    I find your site via proBlogger’s 113 must read blogging tips.
    In general, I like your blogging style but one thing I keep in my mind. Why don’t you use the 2-column theme? It is a waste for the white space in front of very post.

  14. Hypnose Says:

    Hi Shona

    Isnt it time you updated this page and showed the world that you have grown up?

    I mean it still says 29, but i read about you turning 30, and it is sad when peole stay 29 for years… :-)

    Otherwise a great blog, found it via one mans goals Ebook

    Good luck wiht it!

  15. richminx Says:

    Thanks Hypnose, I’m glad you like my blog.

    Very well, I have updated my age! It wasn’t easy, I was still pretending to be 29. :)
