Upcoming titles for us…

For those of you watching us closely, you will notice we are slowly, but surely, launching a vast array of titles. Not all of them blogs, not all of them will be gossip (we’ll leave that to the master Nick Denton), but a mix of media that hits publishing online in ways that really haven’t […]

The Superbugs Have Landed at b5media

How much do you know about methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)? Do you even know how to pronounce it? What you should know is that it is a “superbug,” resistant to one or more conventional antibiotics and quickly becoming the scourge of modern medicine.

b5media OPML: Read All About It…

A week or two ago, I was tinkering around with some code for some backend tools we’ve been putting together here at b5media and I got to thinking how cool it would be to have all of b5media’s blogs in one place. No fuss, no muss.

b5media Offering Solace to Widows

Having been happily married for the past 12 years, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be widowed. The new editor of b5media’s new Family and Relationships blog, Widows Quest, knows all too well.

Bullthink!

Yes, we have launched the bull. This was actually the first level9 site, having it taken down when we launched the Starked sites, but we revamped it and brought it back with a cleaner look. We thought it would be good to have a general news site. Something of an “extra” for our readers who […]

Get Sorted into Gryffindor

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books has inspired a *rather* large series of movies, and now has inspired b5media’s youngest writer, Grace Tilton, to write GryffindorGazette, a blog about all things Harry Potter.

Whether you identify with the houses of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw, you will find a good home at GryffindorGazette. […]
