When PFBlog was voted as the best personal finance blog about a month ago, I asked myself: what does it take to bring PFBlog to the next level?

On one hand, I can continue to explore some new personal finance topics and, at the same time, report my progress in my long journey. But on the other hand, my growing responsibilities at daily job substantially reduces the time I can devote to PFBlog, and more importantly, I noticed the continued success of PFBlog is severely handicapped by my limited scope as a comparatively well paid, no debt corporate finance professional in his late 20s. (You see no discussion of how to dig oneself up from a debt hole, not much about retirement planning, and absolutely nothing about estate planning.) That's the reason why, as you might noticed, PFBlog started to recruit outside bloggers in late February.

I'm so fortunate to find so many people sharing the vision and being interested in personal finance blogging. Now, after one month's of busy work, we are happy to announce that PFBlog Network, or Personal Finance Bloggers' Network, is launched at news.pfblog.com.

PFBlog Network Contributors

Currently, PFBlog Network includes 12 channels written by people at different stages of personal finance life. Besides my original blog of My Personal Finance Journey, there are six other blogs that earned the status of gold channel. They are:

All Things Financial by JLP, who is a financial planner from Texas. He discusses a variety of personal finance topics and shares his journey to be a Certified Financial Planner.

Financial Freedom Trek by Sadi, a young lady from the Big Apple, who is willing to share her trek to become net worth positive.

Nathan's Financial Mindset, by, of course, Nathan. Nathan is also in the early part of his journey to retire early, and retire rich.

Consumerism Commentary by flexo. Flexo is a veteran personal finance blogger that hosts Consumerism Commentary. He is 29 years old and is versatile on many things.

Canadian Capitalist by Arbee, the blogger behind Canadian Capitalist. Arbee brings his engineering background (same as me) to play when discussing personal finance topics, and especially, investing, with a Canadian flavor.

Blueprint for Financial Prosperity by Jim, who is currently 24 (relatively young!) and host of Bargaineering, a money saving site.

Some more blogs will be announced soon but you can take a sneak peek today. Are you convinced that we are a truly diversified group now?
