It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to do a round up of some of the other personal finance writers around the web, but recently I’ve had a lot more time to invest in the blog, so some exciting things will be happening in the coming weeks. We’re going to have a new name, a brand new design, another staff writer, a forum, and a lot of other things are in the works too, so expect some exciting changes! Anyway, here are some great articles from the personal finance world this week.

“10 Facts About Buying Or Selling a House of Horrors” – Silicon Valley Blogger wrote an interesting real estate article about owning a home that had a negative historical event happen in it at one time or another that seemingly everyone knows about it. You can get a great deal, even if their was some stigmatizing event in the distant past

“Passive Income is the Key to Freedom–and Retirement” – Meg over at All Financial Matters wrote this great article about a topic that gets a big of a bad rap. A lot of hucksters user the term “passive income” to try to sell you on their zero-down real estate program or other investment scheme, but the reality is the only way to retire is to have passive income coming your way.

“Resuming normal programming: Why Dreamhost was the frugal choice for me” – Mrs Micah moved over from blogger to a Wordpress account on dream host, something I should have done several months ago! If you’re going to start a blog, don’t even think about blogger!

Also, Free Money Finance is giving away a copy of Quicken 2008
