Write on Finance Blog Up #2 London 16-17 March 2013
Written by Karen Bryan
The second Write on Finance Blog Up took place in London over the weekend 16-17 March 2013. After all the positive feedback from the first Write on Finance Blog Up in Leeds in September 2012, I decided I would keep the momentum going, so I leapt straight into organising another Blog Up. I also created the UK centric Write on Finance resource for personal finance bloggers and writers.
