October has been a huge month for MoneyMiniBlog.
I’m sure hoping you’ve noticed the fresh new look.
The re-designing process was a lot of work, but it was worth it.
I’ve been doing more than just working on this new design.
I’ve been writing a new book, creating even more great content on money and productivity and, most importantly for this article, I’ve been reading articles from all over the web.
