Welcome to the newly redesigned Money Crashers site! We’ve been hard at work over the past few months trying to make the site bigger and better for all of you.
The most drastic change you’ll notice is that we have now categorized the site to make it much easier to navigate. We also added some new sections to the home page and gave each category its own personal home page. Lastly, we’ve done some new stuff with the layout of the site and the color scheme. We hope you like it!

Congratulations to all! If you’re like most Americans, you’ve completed your taxes by the April 15th deadline and hopefully got a nice refund check. If you filed for an extension, hopefully you don’t procrastinate too long…
Anyway, thanks to everyone who participated in our 2010 Online Tax Filing Giveaway! Online tax software like TurboTax, H&R Block At Home, and TaxACT make filing easy, and I hope some of you had a chance to discover these useful tools through this event. What have your experiences been like? Let us know in the comments section below.

If you don’t care much for sports, FiLife (Financial Lifeline, a Wall Street Journal partner) just put out the March Money Madness of Personal Finance Blogs where Money Crashers is included as one of their 16 favorite PF blogs. The blogs then battle it out based on reader votes in the comments of FiLife’s post.
