Announcements about Taxgirl — site changes, redesigns, downtime, newsletter updates, and anything else happening behind the scenes.
Forget the Oscars, I got my own nod this week. And yeah, I’m a little Kate Winslet-y over the whole thing. Professor Paul Caron authors TaxProf Blog – a blog that I never, ever, never miss reading – and has included taxgirl in his list of the top ten tax blogs. In case you’ve been…
Apparently, these little people that live in my house have banded together in a plot to do away with me… Last night, I fell victim to their evil plot by contracting what I think is a particularly nasty version of strep. I’m off to get medicated (with any luck). I’ll see you tomorrow!
I’ve had a couple of folks ask me why I don’t have a related posts feature on my site. The simple answer is that I had a terrible experience with a plugin (YARPP) in October – the plugin actually brought down my site. I swore no more after that. But at the wheedling and cajoling…
In case you missed it, I was interviewed for today’s front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer. You can read the article, titled Tax Revelations of Rich, Powerful Irk Honest Filers, here.

I have been made aware of the fact that several thousand subscribers were dropped from taxgirl’s feed over the weekend. Please understand that I am crazy upset over this. I believe that it’s related to the Google “take over” of Feedburner that I mentioned before. I’m validating feeds and otherwise doing all that I can…
As you may have heard, Google ate acquired Feedburner awhile back. As part of the inevitable, Google will phase out Feedburner feeds that don’t switch over to Google by February 28, 2009.

There’s been a terrific response to my occasional job postings, so much so that I am moving job postings to their own page. Click here for up to date job postings.
Psst. You. Over there, near the computer. The one pretending to work today but really not in the mood because of the holidays? Yeah you. I need a favor. Today is the last day to cast your vote for taxgirl in the ABA Journal Blawg 100. No registration required. All you have to do visit…
