Tidying Up: October 2008 at Student Scrooge

It is hard to believe that the month of October is over, but it has been an exciting month for me here at Student Scrooge.
Some Attention
- The highlight of the month was undoubtedly the attention my post “Tipping: Psychological Warfare?” received. Not only was it chosen as an editor’s choice as part of the 175th Carnival of Personal Finance – “Jokey McJokester” Edition, but it was also picked up by the MSN Smart Spending MoneyBlog, which sent a huge surge of traffic my way.
- At the beginning of the month I participated in a group-writing project with about a dozen other great bloggers on what the next President can do to help the middle class. You can read my own response and then head on over to the other great responses from my fellow bloggers.
- I also participated in the 174th Carnival of Personal Finance — The Columbus Day Edition, which included my post on “Tipping: The “No-Tip” Restaurant”
Record Visitors
Almost exclusively because of the mention from MSN Smart Spending, October saw a record number of visitors to my blog. 4,997 visitors with 6,973 page views — certainly not huge by any means, but a nice confidence booster. I’m hopeful that one way or another I’ll be able to top that in November with your help.
