Member Highlight: The Finwikian, Your Two Cents on Personal Finance

Mrs. Micah, a young rising star of Personal Finance Blogosphere, just made an audacious move — she started The Finwikian! The Finwikian is a personal finance wiki. In her own words:

The Finwikian is, put simply, a wiki dedicated to all things personal finance on the internet. It contains a catalog of personal finance blogs and will eventually include articles on numerous topics related to personal finance.

A community has grown up around personal finance blogs. As a librarian-type, I felt compelled to organize it into a useful resource. Obviously, no one site will ever capture the multiplicity of viewpoints and experiences found in the individual sites. However, I hope that this one will be valuable for bloggers and for those looking for information.

For example, each blog page links to tables of blogs—such as Personal Finance Bloggers, Tax Bloggers, or Frugality Bloggers. These tables allow you to discover other blogs with similar interests, to learn a little bit about them by visiting their Finwikian pages and then to visit the blogs themselves if you’re interested.

That makes it an excellent tool for writers and readers, you can share your blog with others, you can contribute to pages on other blogs you read, and hopefully you will discover new blogs in the process.
There will be a number of pages on various topics from Dave Ramsey and his Debt Snowball to Credit Card Arbitrage and Peer To Peer Lending. I can’t create them alone; I hope that the personal finance community will join together in making this not just one person’s site and idea, but our site full of our ideas.

You are invited to participate in this, whether you’re a guru, a blogger, or someone who just likes personal finance. For more information on getting started, please visit the getting started section on the main page or the Help:How To section.
