88th Festival of Frugality – About Me Edition
Posted by The Happy Rock on August 21, 2007
Welcome to the 88th Festival of Frugality! The Festival of Frugality is a blog carnival, which is a periodic round up of blogger’s best posts related to a specific topic hosted by various blogs.
Below are the 5 articles that I enjoyed the most, followed by the rest of the 35 entries that were accepted to the festival. For each entry I included a link to selected article and a link to the author’s ‘About Me’ page. For those blogs without an easy to find ‘About Me’ I will link to the main page. The posts are listed in the order they were received. Enjoy the wealth of knowledge.

Thanks for all the thanks!
@teaspoon – Great job updating. The about page is an important one, and one that interests me as a reader. That was the impetus for the About Page linking.
