Is your list only for people who have completed the challenge? I was hoping since you liked my Compost post I might make the cut :)

Jeff December 18, 2010 at 10:23 am

Yes, I took my list from only people who are on the http://yakezie.com/personal-finance-blogs page. I try to get everyone (in the yakezie), but I swear everywhere I turn on the web, someone’s got the yakezie badge displayed, and I cant possibly remember them all! It’s not a bad thing, (it’s actually really good) but it’s so difficult to keep track and try to include everyone! I’ll keep you in mind next time!
