About a year ago, I gave a shout-out to the other finance blogs on the internet -- there weren't many blogs in this category back then. Take a look at the comments and see the germination of personal finance blogs that have become some of the most popular out there.

On my sidebar I keep a list of active personal finance blogs. I try to maintain the list every once in a while by removing the blogs that haven't been updated in about two months and adding new blogs that have lasted at least a month or so.

If you're a personal finance blogger -- and many of the readers of Consumerism Commentary are -- why did you start your blog? Were you inspired by someone else's, or did you come by the genre by accident? Did you read about personal finance blogs in the Wall Street Journal or on Yahoo?

I think it's great that the genre is expanding. Keep them coming!
