Budgeting Babe on Hiatus
Posted on September 26, 2009 22 Comments
I’ve always hated housekeeping. But as I look around this blog, it’s obvious that housekeeping is sorely needed. The world of the web has changed rapidly since I set up the blog in 2004 and so has my life. Therefore, I’m going on an indefinite hiatus to redesign the site and rethink what Budgeting Babe means to me.
Among my tasks: clean up the links, organize posts, update graphics and widgets, figure out my e-mail situation for the site and potentially even switch to another site host, provided I can learn HTML. And of course, there’s the issue of posting. During the last year, my writing has become uninspired. I need to find my voice again as a writer, rather than just posting thoughtless one-offs becasue I haven’t written anything recently. That’s a disservice to you guys, and a waste of all our time.
So, allow me this winter to grow and change and learn some new things. I’ll leave the old site up so it’s still searchable (I’ve heard about a few people finding the site through search engines), but I won’t be posting anything new for a while. Good luck to you all on your financial journeys, and see you soon.

I switched from blogger to WP last year and LOVE IT! I can't say it helped me renew my voice, as I'm slacking, but after finding a suitable theme I made the jump pretty effortlessly!

Forgive me for posting a comment off topic, but I want people to know of a con I was tricked into.
I bought some clothes from Blair.com 5 months back, and for the last 4 months, they have been charging 14.95 USD on my creditcard, for “Blair Rewards” program that I never signed up for, and when I try to call them, their customer care number plays the same message in a loop, that they cant answer my calls due to a high volume of calls.
I have read that this is a common experience with blair.com, but am not sure how to get my money back.

Has anyone else had this experience?
I would request people not to do business with this company, that practices such shady deals.

I've read some of your posts last year and actually most of it inspired me to manage my finances carefully. Hope you'll get back soon!
