As a blog critic, I'm impressed at the clean look and feel of this website by Countrywide. It has incorporated some blogging elements such as an RSS feed and blog-like site navigation, but there's a little room for improvement. I think they ought to enable visitor comments on each article, so that users of the website can publish questions and answers related to the posts. But overall Credit Demystified is a great resource for free financial and credit information.
