Whew! Welcome to the new members…
There are an amazing number of new members on the Frugal Blogroll, and I’ve been procrastinating about adding them all. I think I finally finished the job! If you recently applied and weren’t added, please make sure you are properly displaying the blogroll or badge before you use the contact form. I will not add [...]
The scrolling blogroll box!
Thanks to Mrs. Mecomber, there is a new option for Frugal Blogroll members! Instead of showing the badge or the entire Frugal Blogroll (500 members and counting!) you can now use Mrs. Mecomber’s easy script to create a scrolling box and show just as much of the blogroll as you want. The box is set [...]
New blogroll members
My spam filter has been exercising lately. I can tell because it’s catching nearly everything that is thrown at it, spam or not. I thought the last few weeks had been quiet, with relatively few new members on the Frugal Blogroll. I was wrong. Y’all were having a big party in the Spam Lounge, weren’t [...]
Frugal Hacks is Back!!
After about 15 hours in the chair, Frugal Hacks is back! I’m so sorry for the unexcused absence, but I hope this will be the beginning of some smooth sailing. We have switched webhosts to an established service recommended by a friend whose family has run web based businesses for many years. We really respect [...]
All clear now
I apologize for the outage earlier this week. With loads of help from my Very Smart and Handsome Hubby, I think Frugal Hacks is good as new now. We’ve worked out all the bugs that we were aware of, so please let us know if you notice anything we missed. This wasn’t related, but I [...]
Your help wanted
You might have noticed the burgeoning list of Frugal Blogroll members. This week I added more than 30 new members! This means that managing the blogroll has become quite a job. Already at least one member has spontaneously converted from an ostensibly personal blog to pure spam and advertising with no real blog in sight; [...]

Frugal hackers: new badge for the blogroll!
The Frugal Blogroll is growing by leaps and bounds, and maybe you didn’t expect to have the entire blogroll overtake your sidebar when you joined. Whiner. That’s OK. You have a good reason to whine. Try this on for size: instead of adding the entire blogroll, members have the option of adding the Frugal Hacks [...]
