Goodbye, b5media

It’s been a little over a year since I signed up to join b5media, only to realize that you have to be 16 years or old to blog for them. I was super excited to join them because it seemed such a good community. August 5th I joined the crew and that was a great birthday present in itself.

Fast forward to today and I am now no longer a member of the great network that is b5media. It’s nothing wrong on their part. I can’t preach enough about how awesome b5 is, but here’s two things to start with:

1. Community – If you are looking for a blog network that is all about community, b5 is the place. It’s such a friendly place where you can post almost anything and people will talk with you or if you need help. It’s just that amazing. I will miss b5 greatly for this.

2. Training – I mean, come on, when you have the legendary Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net fame, why would you appreciate it? Tris Hussey of Maple Leaf 2.0 has also been a great source of training. Heck, even the other b5 bloggers will help you in what you need. If they see something wrong, they’ll quickly tell you what’s wrong and how to fix it.

There are a number of people I’d like to thank, but if I singled out every one of them, I might as well direct you to the main b5media authors page, so I’ll mention a few.

• Tris Hussey – Trainer Extraordinaire
• Shai Coggins – Community Goddess
• Jeanne Dupuis – Made me learn I have a blogger-stalker
• Kristen King – Made the b5 chats oh so entertaining

Working at b5media is one of the greatest things I’ve done and would highly recommend them in a heartbeat. I’ll miss working there, but if you ever want me in a weekly chat, I’d be glad to.
