The Buck List

I started a blog in September of 2008 named The Buck List, about saving and making money. Blogging was a new experience, one I had to figure out as I went along. I assumed the pseudonym of Buck Weber, because I was not brave enough yet to use my real name on the internet. The name came from making or saving a Buck, on the Web. I eventually developed a writing schedule, and stuck to it, modifying as the blog continued. I monetized the blog, learned about SEO, keywords, and so on. I commented on other blogs and websites, featured other sites, hosted guest writers, entered blog carnivals, and in general engaged with my niche internet community. I had a great time, thinking up new angles on subjects, creating series, linking here and there, and writing regularly. Gradually the burnout crept up on me and by June of 2011 I was done writing within the self imposed confines of personal finance. I was not enjoying it anymore and I decided if I would ever undertake this kind of thing again it would be more wide ranging; I would write about whatever I wanted.

So check out the old blog, I think there is some good stuff there. And I hope you return to this one, because there is much more to come.
