Looking around the personal finance blogosphere, I see that my fellow bloggers are dropping like flies. No, no, they’re not dying or anything like that (thank goodness and knock on wood). They’re healthy. They’re even still blogging. Just that they’re no longer blogging about personal finance.

E, my former blog partner, left for bigger and better opps months back. YoungAndBroke is now CakesAndAle. RichMinx now covers every topic under the sun. That’s only a few of the changes (and yes, I know that I have to update my sidebar, will do that after the book launch).

Why?

Is it because they’re no longer investing? Is wealth building not working for them? If that’s the case, and they, as “experts” can’t make it work, how can you as a reader?

No, no, no. They’ve changed the focus of their sites because, frankly, blogging about wealth building is boring. Most of us are one trick ponies. We find a technique that works and we work it until it doesn’t work anymore. Not exactly exciting writing material.

We’re also restricted to the fields we play in. I, luckily, have business building in my investing mix. That is a bit more interesting than I bought Citigroup today at $XX and sold MicroSoft at $XX and… (are your eyes rolling back in your head yet?).

However, I didn’t talk a lot about the subprime mess because I don’t invest in real estate (directly, I do hold REITs and bought some sure and steady’s during the meltdown). Why display my ignorance? There are other bloggers with actual experience in that field.

So don’t look at these changes as discouraging. Look at them as “this investing business is so simple that it doesn’t require years of learning.”
