Good WSJ article on managing your credit score

The following link is to a good article on how to manage your credit score

Top 3 things:

1. 35% of score is dependent on whether you pay your bills on time.
2. 30% of score is your utilization rate (debt/available credit). Your credit card debt should be less than 30%    of your total available credit.
3. 15% is based on your credit mix. Do you have installment loans (auto, home) and credit cards.
