Two Years of FiveCentNickel and a Big, Huge Giveaway

Five cent Nickel is a personal finance blog that is part of the Money Blog Network. The Money Blog Network is a network of personal finance bloggers that can be considered authorities in the subject of PF (personal finance), so this tells me that “Nickel” knows what he is doing when it comes to PF blogging. His welcome page states …your one-stop shop for information about earning and saving money. Looking at Nickel’s website categories, I can see that he blogs most about the dreaded subject of taxes, with just under 100 articles written on the subject. Nickel also writes plenty about online banking and online deals, and most other personal finance topics. His articles are always clear cut, quick, and to the point. That is very important in the blogging world, where blog readers can use their RSS readers to tear through hundreds of articles a day, stopping only where they see good, straight, and to the point content. Somehow, Nickel always manages to get me to stop in my RSS reader when I am wading through hundreds of articles every day! Good job Five Cent Nickel!
