I've started a separate blog for the investments I make in my Roth IRA here. I'll talk about general personal finance topics as well as and giving status updates on how things are going with my own investments. I've put several posts up on it already but you should expect traffic to be sporadic.

It's got the standard Movable Type layout; I'll probably change it eventually. Or maybe not. I will also turn on comments once I get a chance to fiddle with the MT templates some more.

i don't understand the paragraph here where it says http://www.moneysavingfreetips.com/roth-ira-contribution-limits.html
"What are the advantages of contributing to a roth IRA fund? Well the obvious ones are tax advantages. Any proceeds or gains you receive from IRA funds are not taxable. "
what do they mean by proceeds or gains from an ira? does ira contributions pay interest, and those are non-taxable?

Whatever you invest your contributions in (e.g. mutual funds, stocks, bonds) will likely increase in value and pay dividends, yes. You might keep part of your contributions in, say, a money market account that actually earns interest. All earnings (whether capital gains, dividends, or interest) are non-taxable in a Roth.
