Thanks!

It's fun for me. I like trying to point out articles that many people may have missed. Everyone sees the posts on Get Rich Slowly, but they probably missed articles on sites like mine.

Once you get the template going, it's really pretty easy (plus it's an easy way to put out a fresh article once a week). My advice - work on it throughout the week as you find good articles. I tend to put it off and do it on Saturdays, instead of throughout the week, which would make it easier and allow better links.

Thanks for the link David! One of my weaknesses so far with CheckbookDiaries is intermittent blog article roundups. I do a ton of reading, and find great articles (including your site), but fall short in sharing them. Your mention is certainly motivation to knock off the slacking, create a template for blog roundups, and give back some of the referring site love.

Congrats on the interview as well…you're really moving up in the blogosphere!

My pleasure.

I'm starting to become more of a fan of Liz's too. It reminds me I should probably check my credit score too…I checked mine before I bought my house, but that was probably close to 2 years ago.

Thanks for the link, David.

I liked that Liz Weston interview as well. Prior to reading it, I'd never paid any attention to my credit rating. (I've never carried a balance on any credit card, so I pretty much just assumed it would be good enough that I'd never have to worry about it.)

After reading it, I figured I should go check it out at least.
