Say My Name, Say My Name
I’ve had a number of emails the last few weeks asking what the “real” name for b5 is. I’ve been a bit nervous about answering this on the blog, mainly because when 9rules wrote a post stating that it was “9rules” not “9Rules” or “9 Rules”, they go ta bit of flack for being uptight.
We […]

Blogger Interview: Arieanna Foley
The second in our series of weekly blogger interviews (sorry that this one was so late, it’s been a big week at b5) focuses on Arieanna Foley.

Our Blogs
Today will be a big day at b5media so we thought it might be worthwhile highlighting our current blogs again for those surfing in for the first time. Here’s what we’ve added to the network so far.

Bloggers Wanted: Sports, Finance, Music & Travel
Now that the shortlist of bloggers and blogs we are looking at for round 2 is done, we can see some holes in our lineup. These are holes we would like to fill, if we can. Here are the topic areas, and what specifically we are looking for:

Shortlist Done
Our shortlist of bloggers for our next round of blogs has been completed. We’ll begin emailing candidates over the next few days. Because we have about 80 emails to send out, they’ll be fairly short and to the point for those who we’ve decided not to go with, as well as for those who we […]

That’s How the Blog Traffic Grows
A number of our bloggers have been swapping secrets for gaining blog traffic on the mailing list. One of the best kept secrets, from Arieanna Foley author of Cooking Gadgets and She Knows Best? Ask for links.

Moving Servers
Over the next few days, all 15-18 of our blogs will be moving to a new server, kindly being provided by HostRocket. There may be some outages of 5-10 minutes as sites move over. Or, if we’re really slick you may not even notice.
Just a heads up, that if blogs appear down or you get […]

Now Paging: b5media’s Forums
As we grow, it seems like more and more people want to talk to us, offer us their suggestions, bounce around ideas for blogs and generally just get involved.
One of our authors (I think it might have been Kevin from Unplugged Living) suggested we setup a forum. His original idea was for our authors to […]

BlogNetworkWatch
It was bound to happen sometime. A “watching the blog networks” site has been launched! Appropriately named “Blog Network Watch“, its stated goal is to “provide an independent and fair coverage of the blog network scene offering timely news, analysis and commentary”.
If you’re one of the (seemingly) many people who can’t get enough blog network […]
