This is just a quick followup to let you know that the comments should now be working properly. In case you had something to say and were unable to do so (sorry about that!), here are some links to recent articles:

This is just a quick note to say that the commenting system here on FCN isn’t currently working. We’re aware of the problem and are working on a solution. If you’ve been trying to post a comment, I apologize. Hopefully we’ll have things straightened out shortly. Oh, and special thanks to those of you that [...]
As you may have noticed, we recently changed how comments are handled here on FCN.

I also thought this information might be useful to those of you that have weblogs of [...]

I recently had to implement a simple little challenge-response test for leaving comments due to a recent deluge of spam comments. When trying to leave comment, you should see a “captcha” image containing a financial word. Simply type the word into the required field [...]
This is a just a quick (and nearly belated!) note to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. We slept in this morning and then had a fairly lazy day, though we did go our to see Hancock. It rained late this afternoon, and our kids don’t handle late nights well at all, so we [...]
Sorry for wandering off topic, but…
This is just a quick public service announcement to anyone out there that runs a WordPress-based website. There is a pretty nasty hack going around right now that hijacks your search traffic. In fact, FiveCentNickel was compromised on Thursday, though this has since been resolved without any lasting damage.
I posted [...]
Given that I’ve now been at this for three years, I though that it might be time to go about an write a series of basic articles for financial newbies. I’m thinking of something along the lines of a “Back to Basics” series. While this might not be as useful for the personal finance veterans [...]
