The IRA Owner’s Manual is a great idea! I’m glad the article on financial advisors with web sites sent some people your way.

Thanks for the explanation about the web stats, Jim. I installed the plugin — piece o’ cake. Wish I’d done this long ago, since I lost a year of stats, but better late then never.

Happy New Year, Helen!

I had noticed and wanted to congratulate you on the new look of your blog – very nice indeed!

The statistics that I mentioned, including links clicked to and from, come from the plugin “wordpress.com stats”. If I remember correctly, to set it up you have to have an account with WordPress.com, which provides you with an API connector. Other than that, the statistics doesn’t require any special setup to just “work” and it works well. Let me know if you have questions if you want to set it up on your blog.

I was on my way over to your blog to check out the RMD post when I saw your comment, so I’ll be looking at that shortly…

Have a great new year!

Nice round-up for the year, Jim, and thanks for including my link.

How do you check which links are clicked on? I use Google Analytics to track usage, and if it has that feature, I haven’t found it , yet.

Also, I’ve moved my blog over to http://www.scienceandmoney.com My formal education is in science, and I found that many of my posts ended up being more about science than money, so I changed the title to reflect what I’m really writing about. But there’s still a lot about money. I just wrote a post on RMD’s that I’d be interested to have your comments on.

Best wishes for a terrific 2010.

@Investor: Yes, it will be a full six as of mid-March… although those first few years were pretty sparse, it seems like a long time in “blog-life” – lol.

Thanks for the mentions, and best wishes to you in 2010!

Six years of publishing? Wow, you make me feel young, and I thought my two years was pretty geriatric. Glad to send some traffic your way — here’s to 2010!
