For the past few weeks I have enjoyed a rare satisfaction known only to myself and 3,000 other individuals. The once invitation-only financial planning website Mint.com was where I checked my bill balances, monitored my shopping habits, and scanned for ways to save. And since my time being Mintified, I have finally seen some dough at the end of the paycheck.
In truth, there are rare occasions where I find myself so enthused by a website that it hits my list of sites to blog about. But Mint.com is no ordinary website. To begin with users sign up with Mint and add accounts to their profile. After the usual Credit Cards and Bank Accounts are added through the secure interface, Mint scans your account details to determine whether your interest rate is too high, your gas bill just average, or if you’re spending too much money renting out DVD’s.
What’s more is this fantastic service comes at little more than the cost of air. It’s free as in zilch, nadda, zip, nothing. Which means you can probably fire that financial planner and start saving your first buck. Â

isn’t it? And the thing I love the most is their logo. It’s Minty.

It did not work, let me try it again.

swimmer, comment avatars only show up for bloggers that are part of the Hadithuna Muslim Blogging
community.

Okay, let me try again.
Thank you for your help, but I clicked the link you provided, I still don’t know what to do. Should I register myself there or list my blog there or create an account there?
I just try to learn how to use Avatar.

I got it, it does not look like that you acknowledge the Gravatar, instead you have your own login and maintain a list of users with their profiles. You set a default Avatar which looks like a letter “C”. I guess you are using Wordpress blogging package and operate under WP.org environment. What Plugins you are using to maintain your Avatar?
Thanks,

I can not change my profile picture, though. Maybe the file is too bog or something. I did not generate any error message either.

swimmer, if you are having difficulties you may want to try uploading your profile picture using firefox instead of internet explorer, which is having some difficulties with the avatar plugin injection code.

Yes, it worked. Thank you.
