Changes to blogs and the ‘Explore your content’ page

This week there are changes to this very blog (check out the updated styling and the addition of my avatar).

It's that time, and a couple of additions to the site worth mentioning today. This week there are changes to this very blog (check out the updated styling and the addition of my avatar). More exciting though is that Ed Bowsher, our Head of Consumer Finance, unveils his new blog today.

The Bowsher Blog is where you'll find Ed's thoughts on money, finance and anything else that takes his fancy. You can get a quick snapshot of all the lovemoney.com blogs on our 'Meet the bloggers' page (check out my mad hair! It's the best snap I could find). Keep an eye on our blogs, there's a lot more to come.

I should also mention the changes to your content page, called 'Explore your content' - this page is personal to you, so it's only visible when you are logged in. We've added three new illustrations to give you a quick and easy way to see how a specific financial product can make you better off.

We kicked off two weeks ago with just the one illustration for savings accounts, and today we added illustrations for remortgages, low APR credit cards and cashback credit cards. In the next two weeks we'll be adding even more. At this stage the illustrations live exclusively on your content page, but in the future we have big plans for how these can help you to identify the products you need to save you money.

Last, but so not least, we've added your Q and A watchlist to your content page. With continued improvements hopefully you can see how your content page will evolve to become a significant destination page for people who have registered with lovemoney.com - and there is plenty more to come on that in the coming weeks and months.

That's about all for today, comments and feedback very welcome :-)

    In reply to ThatLindseyGuy..

    Thanks very much, glad you are enjoying the new site. We are all enjoying reading your answers and comments. Very valuable to the site, thank you (actually!)

    Discussing this with lovebunny and the team, I'm happy to say yes to both.

    We'll be making it 12 questions per page and we are going to add RSS to Q and A pages. We'd already chalked them in.

    The changes will go out in the next couple of weeks.

    Best Wishes and thanks for the feedback!

    I am self employed and having differcultly finding a lender who is prepared in providing me a mortgage because I was late in paying last 1st August 2009 mortgage payment (PAID ON 14TH September, 6 weeks late). This is the only negative sign on my credit report which is proving a problem.

    My property portfolio loan to value is 44%. but, this is not helping me remortgaging for a better rate and changing to offset mortgages or buy to let.

    Anyone out there can advise me as Love-money financial advisers cannot help me out of this situation. Im aware the media highlights that Banks are lending again however not to buy to let investors.

    Please help by advising me, where I can get under 5% mortgages. To help me SMILE again.
