This wasn't mentioned in the this page, but my Japanese teacher (born and raised in Japan) taught us one thing about ~にする and ~になる. The main difference is that with ~にする, it's used when you decide to do something, i.e: 毎日、朝ごはんを食べることにする (I decided that I'll eat breakfast every morning), rather than with ~になる, where it implies that it has been decided for you (against your will, maybe), i.e: 来週に引っ越すことになった (It was decided that we will move out next week).
