April was an important month for those looking for tax info. Many Canadians came to Canadian Finance Blog from The Globe and Mail, Money Sense and Google to find tax tips and reviews of all the 2009 tax software.
In last month’s Top 5, I mentioned there were a couple things in the works that would be announced soon. Thankfully everything came together and both announcements were made in April.
The first was the formation of the Money Mavens Network. A group of nine blogs, each occupying a different niche within the personal finance blogosphere. I’m looking forward to what we can do as a group and expect big things from all the bloggers involved!
The second was bringing Jim Yih in as a regular contributor to Canadian Finance Blog. Jim has written for almost every major Canadian publication and it’s an honour having him share his expertise here every second week.
At the end of April I moved the site to a new host. I chose Media Temple and I hope you’ll find the site more responsive as I was having problems with my previous hosting provider. Now that the site move went smoothly, I’ll be looking to improve the speed and adding some small tweaks to the layout. No major changes, but I’m looking for any ways to improve your experience when you come visit!
