it’s the website name that attracts me! don’t change it no matter what people say, and it’s easy to remember as well

This sounds like another barrier at work here. Weed out the people who are too lazy to read the really good stuff!

If you don’t want to read long blog posts, then you really don’t want to learn. TV and commercials have taught too many people that everything worth saying can be done in short bursts.

The only thing I would personally suggest is to make the text a darker black to make it easier to read.

I’m so glad you have the insight to see what’s important and what’s not. I agree that this comments are unwarrented.
It’s exactly the opposite case with the name of the site. It is extremely easy to remember, I haven’t had a probme with it sense I started reading last October, and I’m not one to remember URL’s.
I am a current college student and I can honestly say that I already knew very little of what I read here about finance, investing, EVERYTHING! Classes are often worthless, economic classes aren’t required, and if its not your major, you’re either not taking it or not paying attention to it. About banks, that’s crap. I have never in my life learned anything good from a bank that didn’t involve them getting over on you. ingDirect is the one exception, and I learned of them from here.
I love the long posts, they’re the most informative. That’s the one and only most important factor.

short blog posts read like blog post comments – easy to lose in the chaos.

I really like the detail you write, don’t pay attention to them. I have never book marked your site, your website link just sticks out in my mind.

Having taught college students, I’m lmao at #3.

“I will teach you to be rich” are 7 non-random words. You should send them a very lengthy article on digit span research and intelligence. They probably won’t read it as it’s too long, but it would be a subtle and funny way of calling them morons. Then you should right back a few days later and point out that you have site feed.

Don’t listen to the haters.

If “I Will Teach You To Be Rich all as one word” is too hard to remember, maybe they don’t want to put in the effort to learn to be rich? Besides, there are workarounds as someone mentioned above…

My “assvice” is to keep your eyes on the prize. Which is what you set out to do and through evolution what that idea will become. Everyone’s an expert once the ball is rolling.

To start out and carve a piece of true creativity you will hear more no’s than “attaboys”.

I personally have learned much more here than through my “banker” or even my financial advisors since both of those people have a vested interest in my money.

So I say. Keep on Keeping ON.
