<p>It&#8217;s been a little over a year since I signed up to join <a href="http://www.b5media.com">b5media</a>, 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.
<p>Fast forward to today and I am now no longer a member of the great network that is b5media. It&#8217;s nothing wrong on their part. I can&#8217;t preach enough about how awesome b5 is, but here&#8217;s two things to start with:</p>
<ol>
<b>
<li>Community</b> &#8211; If you are looking for a blog network that is all about community, b5 is the place. It&#8217;s such a friendly place where you can post almost anything and people will talk with you or if you need help. It&#8217;s just that amazing. I will miss b5 greatly for this.</p>
<p><b>
<li>Training</b> &#8211; I mean, come on, when you have the legendary Darren Rowse of <a href="http://www.problogger.net">ProBlogger.net</a> fame, why would you appreciate it? Tris Hussey of <a href="http://www.mapleleaftwo.com">Maple Leaf 2.0</a> 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&#8217;ll quickly tell you what&#8217;s wrong and how to fix it.
</ol>
<p>There are a number of people I&#8217;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&#8217;ll mention a few.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.mapleleaftwo.com">Tris Hussey</a> &#8211; Trainer Extraordinaire
<li><a href="http://www.shaicoggins.com">Shai Coggins</a> &#8211; Community Goddess
<li><a href="http://www.idolstalker.com">Jeanne Dupuis</a> &#8211; Made me learn I have a blogger-stalker <img src='http://www.zachflauaus.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />
<li><a href="http://www.bizchicksrule.com/">Kristen King</a> &#8211; Made the b5 chats oh so entertaining
</ul>
<p>Working at b5media is one of the greatest things I&#8217;ve done and would highly recommend them in a heartbeat. I&#8217;ll miss working there, but if you ever want me in a weekly chat, I&#8217;d be glad to. <img src='http://www.zachflauaus.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So after a two month hiatus from my own blog, we&#8217;re starting anew. Not because I want to have a clean slate (which is true) and not because things are beginning to change (which is true), but&#8230; I had database problems and couldn&#8217;t get my old articles to transfer over. Go figure. Yeah, yeah, mock me all you want. I still feel liberated. Don&#8217;t know what from, but I feel liberated.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t been following me on Twitter (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/zachflauaus">@zachflauaus</a>), you&#8217;ve probably been missing out on a lot of things. Of which I can&#8217;t pull out a single thing, but I&#8217;ll give a run down of what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.zachflauaus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/gadgetell.jpg" alt="gadgetell.jpg" border="0" width="267" height="50" /></div>
<p></p>
<p>1) I am now blogging for <a href="http://www.gadgetell.com">Gadgetell</a>. This means I get to blog for a greater amount of topics than high definition as I did on <a href="http://www.highdefdelight.com">High Def Delight.</a> Some of you may be reading this and be wondering, so I&#8217;ll go ahead and say it.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.zachflauaus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/b5media.jpg" alt="b5media.jpg" border="0" width="142" height="45" /></div>
<p></p>
<p>2) Yes, I am leaving High Def Delight, and unfortunately along the way, b5media. b5media is on the greatest places somebody can work for, but I&#8217;ll get into that on a post for tomorrow when I officially take my &#8220;hiatus.&#8221;</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.zachflauaus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/mfm.jpg" alt="mfm.jpg" border="0" width="346" height="68" /></div>
<p></p>
<p>3) I&#8217;m the editor-in-chief for <a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com">MacFocus Magazine</a>, a teen-run weekly online magazine with articles written by teens with the teen perspective. MacFocus Magazine is an Apple-oriented news site delivering the latest Apple news, rumors, opinions, and reviews to you on a weekly basis.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a short description of what&#8217;s all going on, but there will be more of everything to come. So in the mean time, sit back and watch the Twitter Stream go by&#8230;</p>
