Now that I’m done with the bulk of the work on Your Money: The Missing Manual, I can start doing many of the things I used to do. Like provide monthly summaries for Get Rich Slowly.
In some ways, January was a strange month around here. For one thing, I think this was the month with the fewest posts since I started the site; there were only three days with more than one post. Yet I don’t feel like this was a bad thing. In fact, I felt like there were some fantastic conversations in January. (What do you think? Are you okay with the one-post-a-day thing? Or would you prefer to see more?)
Here are some of the best articles from this month:
- January 4th: 10 steps to financial success in 2010
- January 6th: Invest in your most important income-produing asset (by Robert B.)
- January 7th: The best time to buy almost everything (by April)
- January 13th: What the new credit card law means to you (by Adam J.)
- January 18th: Break out of your comfort zone to achieve success (a guest post from Flexo)
- January 25th: Great lessons from great men
- January 27th: Does renting make sense?
The blog isn’t the only part of this site. If you have burning questions about personal finance, one of the best places to get answers is the Get Rich Slowly discussion forum, which just got a fresh coat of paint.
The forum is a great place to chat with your fellow readers. Have questions about emergency funds? Ask! Want to chat about cheap vacations? This is the place to do it. The forums have over 3400 registered users and over 44,500 posts.

As long as there are at least four new posts a week from J.D., I don’t have strong feelings about having multiple daily posts. I did feel the authentic voice of GRS was a little diluted this January. However, I know you were crazy busy so I forgive you.

Some people insist “more is always better” with blogs, but I actually prefer a reduced schedule. Besides, one post per day is hardly infrequent!

I just subscribed (rss) to the site, and for me 1 or 2 posts a week are enough for me. Think about it. I’d rather have 2 excellent and meaningful posts than 5 quickies done just to fulfill a quota. Another idea is to have 3-5 part series posts.

This is the one and only blog I can turn to for a new post everyday. Thank you for that!! I thought January was an excellent month, and I loved the perspectives from the guest posts. Different, but refreshing. I’ve been reading for two years now and have never commented, but felt I needed to thank you for all the time I spend here. Can’t wait for the book!

Yay JD! You are almost done with the book!

I’m all for roughly a post per day. I’ll still read whatever you put out!

Love the posts, many or few. I plan to get rich slowly so keep them coming!

My vote is for 4 to 6 posts per week. The discussions add a lots to the posts.

Hey J.D.,
It’s all about quality over quantity.
I agree with David – one a day is more than plenty, and even that is hardly infrequent.
I’d rather have a few articles a week that are simply outstanding than 7+ a week that are merely pretty good. Meaning, it’s not bad, but it’s not remarkable or essential reading, and I could’ve gotten the info or insight elsewhere.
Whatever schedule it takes to keep the GTR level of excellence is the correct schedule
Congrats wrapping up Your Money. It’s going to be exciting seeing it launch.
Best,
Oleg

Hi J.D.
I think the key here is quality, and as several other readers have pointed out, one a day is plenty. Conrgartulations on finishing your book, and keep up the good work.
Regards,
Andrew.

I join the majority so far: one post per day is plenty. I kind of like having something new to read every day, but would be fine with fewer than 7 new posts per week, as it would encourage me to read the comments more carefully. Zipping through a good post to find 100+ comments at the end tends to turn me off (lazy bugger), but there’s always gold in there somewhere.

I think I’ve noticed a trend… every time you ask if one post per day is enough (and people usually chime in that it is), the next day has TWO posts. Is that right?

I agree!

Posting “just” once a day is totally cool by me.
I don’t always get a chance to read my blogs every day and it can be overwhelming to find 5 posts when I’ve only missed 3 days.
