Congratulations to Creative Weblogging!
Creative Weblogging has secured their first round of financing!
Here’s a link to the Blog Herald piece, which has the press release details.
The company’s main site has gotten a bit of a face-lift (including a WIN-like header, which is interesting to see). I’m sure we’ll hear lots of interesting things coming out of CW. Torsten and […]

Like a jigsaw puzzle
I thought that maybe its time for some philosophy here at the b5media blog, so here it goes, and it doesn’t involve sands through the hour glass nor meatloaf through a straw.
Running a blog network is like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, eventually all the pieces fit together.

Press Interview: Nick Douglas
Having done more than a dozen interviews with journalists about b5media in the last week, I decided it was time to turn the tables and interview a journalist on the subject of blog networks.

If you’re one of the (seemingly) many people who can’t get enough blog network […]

What Makes a Blog Network Successful?
Somehow, the launch of b5media last week focused in peoples minds the question of whether or not blog networks were useful, whether or not readers found them valuable and why in the world bloggers would join them. It also made people wonder about what the “right” pay scale was.
After all, some networks pay a […]

We’re Being Parodied?
It’s hard not to laugh when someone pokes fun at you to let you know they’re coming. We’re pretty sure Darren’s the one on the right (since he’s, ahem, follicly challenged) and I’m the one on the left (since I’ve got a ponytail?!) which leaves Duncan as the bored one in the middle.

The Launching of a Blogging Network
The b5 guys sat down today (on Skype) to hammer out our launch plan / schedule / strategy. It’s quite exciting. We’ll be launching with nearly 3 times the number of blogs we’d originally planned to launch, and with a total of 7-9 authors working with us to develop quality content.
