Another week has come and gone. Before you embark on what will surely be a beautiful weekend with family and friends, let’s have a look once again at what the blogosphere has to offer. Who knows? You might actually learn something along the way.
Buzz Bishop told us last week that he was going to get married. Now that he’s exchanged his nuptials with his new wife, he’s telling us how to have a wedding on a budget. While it’s easy to go overboard with decorations and party favors, Buzz and his bride were able to keep the total bill at right around $5,000. Impossible? Read his 15 tips on how to keep costs low.
Chris Bibey is a successful freelance writer, not only because he’s good at what he does, but also because he knows how to best run his business. In following this, he refuses to take on paid on accepted work projects. This is where the client will only pay if they “accept” the work you submit.

Hummingbird604 has only been a part of the Facebook scene for a very short while, but he is already getting creeped out by the friend suggestions.

I’ve been getting some odd suggestions lately too.

It seems that there is a push toward transparency in the business world, being crystal clear with colleagues and customers alike, but Michel says that we should be authentic instead. You don’t have to disclose everything, but you should be perfectly honest and real.
