Link-Love Makes the World Go 'Round

Posted 1 year 7 weeks ago by Linsey Knerl

Personal Finance

In keeping with the warm and fuzzy feeling that Wisebread gives many of its writers and readers, I am taking a moment to give thanks to those that have linked to us over the past two weeks. We appreciate that you would vouch for our perspectives on money and life here at Wisebread. While every attempt is made to include all link love and honorable mentions, I am a newer writer here at Wisebread, and may have inadvertently missed someone very special who didn’t show up in my search. If you are one of those brilliant but overlooked souls, just email us, and we’ll be sure to get you included in the next listing of Wisebread friends and family.

How to travel to and from Canada

Posted 1 year 9 weeks ago by Andrea Dickson

Life Hacks

Getting to and from Canada is getting to be a real pain in the ass. I should know, since I cross the border several times a year to visit family and friends all over the Great White North. The border has always given me the jitters. I've never tried to illegally take anything over the border, but I'm still always a bit freaked out by the process, especially since the guards are getting touchier and touchier as travel restrictions and passport rules get stricter.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - What Kind Of Blog Commenter Are You?

Posted 1 year ago by Paul Michael

Filed Under: Life Hacks

line up

As a writer for a blog that’s growing in popularity, I’m noticing that several different types of blog commenters exist. And not just on Wisebread, but also on every other blog I read. Some are great, some are good, some are bad and some are, well, just plain mystifying. Do you know what type you are? I have compiled a list of the main ones, not just for the sake of everyone who reads and writes for this blog, but for every other blog out there. If we all know what type of blog commenter to be, maybe we’ll all achieve blogging nirvana.

Posted 1 year ago by Andrea Dickson

Filed Under: Personal Finance

Wise Bread loves the following blogs for their linky love. We encourage our readers to visit these blogs, leave comments, and love them in return along with us.

Paul's pink slip article got a mention from one of our blogging idols, Dumb Little Man, a couple weeks ago, and I neglected to mention it in the round up. We love you, Dumb Little Man! Every dumb, little thing about you. Wait, that doesn't sound good. Anyway, sorry for the miss.

Entrepreneurship, DIY

As a supplement to my last post about using WordPress to set up a personal or business website for free (minus the price of domain name registration and/or hosting), here are some ideas for enhancing the functionality of your site or blog with some plugins and other third-party add-ons. Almost all are free, although there are a few that have a nominal fee, based on what you require:

Do you write like a girl?

Posted 1 year ago by Andrea Dickson

Filed Under: Extra Commentary

Based on some of the comments we get around here, it's safe to say that some of you might suspect me of possessing my very own pair of cajones. Attached ones, that is. Not, like, in a jar or something. Sicko.

Well, it turns out that there might be something to that. No, no, I'm not a man. Not even part man. Sure, I can beat you in an arm-wrestling competition without even using my arms, but I'm all woman, baby. Only apparently, I write like a man.

Giving is Better Than Blogging... or IS it?

Posted 1 year ago by Troy Hadley

Filed Under: Life Hacks

Giving is better than receiving. I do sincerely believe this, as much as I like receiving. And I do like getting stuff.

You know that old saying about giving a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day... but teach him how to fish, and he'll end up going to cooking school and opening a swanky restaurant downtown that you won't be able to get reservations to, despite the fact that you taught him, in painstaking detail, how to tie flies when he was down and out?

Comics Curmudgeon: Filthy Rich Blogger Divulges Secrets to Wealth!

Posted 1 year ago by Andrea Dickson

Filed Under: Entrepreneurship

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you thought Garfield was funny? Maybe you shared his fear of spiders or intense love of lasagna? And then, as you got older, Garfield became increasingly less funny? And then one day, you realized that virtually none of the comic strips on the funny pages were funny at all?
