About Weblogs: A Blogging Network on Personal Growth, Passions and Lifestyles. We are now a part of b5media.com . Watch out for updates and news on the merger . MAIN | Archives | Admin | Network Stats | Be a Blogger | Jump to navigation Web Media Category: Network Blogs Blog #28 on the network is Online Journalism by Connie Vivero Luayon. Connie is a long-time freelance writer both for the print and online media. Here's a brief description of the blog from Connie: Online Journalism is basically researching and writing for the online media. But there is more to just gathering information from web sites, writing an article based on information scraped from anywhere, and publishing them for everyone to read. Online Journalism requires skills in researching, editing, reporting and interviewing suited to the online media. Do say hello to Connie and enjoy her brand new blog! tags: online journalism , connie luayon 12/05/05 - 02:40:18 - Shai - 1 comment |No Trackbacks This post was displayed 7444 times.

So now, it is known as The Knitting and Crochet Blog. . Well, until it moves to its new home at b5media anyway.

Merger Stories: Behind The Scenes and More Category: General The past 48 hours here at About Weblogs has certainly been interesting, what with the announcement of the merger with b5media and all. I'm trying not to keep going on about this, but I've been receiving some questions from different people. And, as an avid blogger, I often prefer to go to my own blog when answering "official" questions - using my own words. At least, in this case, I think it's the way to go anyway. :-) In any case, one of the more "controversial" things that came out of the announcement is Scrivs's admission that his network is the one that first approached me and About Weblogs. So, what's the story behind that? [Read More!] 11/09/05 - 06:57:36 - Shai - 5 comments |No Trackbacks This post was displayed 20382 times. About Weblogs Merges with b5media Category: News and Announcements Yes, it's true. Our network is merging with b5media . The official announcement is also posted at The Blog Herald . Some people might think that I hinted about this merger last month. Truth is, I was talking about a different merger that time. I wasn't even in contact with the b5 guys back then about the possibility of merging. Another network owner has approached me a couple of months ago about merging About Weblogs with their network. But, as I said in my post, things didn't quite work out. A week or so after I posted the entry on mergers, Jeremy contacted me for a Skype chat. What they had to offer sounded good, so I said I'd think about it and talk to my bloggers about the possibility of a deal. As soon as we entered in to negotiations, I received another possible offer for a merger. I couldn't respond to that, as I was already talking to the b5 guys and it didn't seem fair. After a couple of weeks of negotiations, we came to the final conclusion that About Weblogs and b5media are a good fit. So, we sealed the deal. And now, we're here. Excited about the possibilities of this new partnership. In Darren's post , he mentioned the following reasons as b5's reasons for choosing About Weblogs: International Flavour, Size and Diversity of Blogs , Gender (er, you have to read his post to understand this ), and Shais (yep, that's me ;-)) Experience and Expertise. But, of course, apart from us bringing something to b5's table, I believe that they're bringing something to us too. Darren, Duncan and Jeremy's experience and expertise combined is a lot more than my own as an individual. Running a network by myself has plenty of challenges and limitations. Now, I have three wonderful guys to work with - and that's fantastic. In terms of traffic, exposure, and resources - b5media considerably has more than what About Weblogs has got at this time. So, those are welcome additions too. I can probably go on, but I think I'll stop now, as I'm sure that there will be more about this merger in the next couple of weeks or so. What does this mean to About Weblogs and where do we go from here? 1) About Weblogs will cease as a blog network brand, as soon as the merger is complete. We will then be known as b5media. 2) Each About Weblogs blog will now have new designs and domains of their own. We will be announcing each one as they find and establish their new "homes". 3) Apart from the pre-approved blogs that we have prior to the merger, we won't be adding any more blogs to the About Weblogs brand from hereon. So, blogger applications will now be put on hold and re-directed to b5media. 4) I will become the fourth partner in the b5media core/admin group, together with Jeremy Wright ( ensight.org ), Darren Rowse ( problogger.net ), and Duncan Riley ( blogherald.com ). We're looking forward to all the changes that will be happening here. I hope you will be thrilled for us too. In any case, we'll be updating you with any other news and developments. So, stay tuned! tags: aboutweblogs.com , b5media , blog networks 11/07/05 - 02:43:34 - Shai - 4 comments |4 Trackbacks This post was displayed 21590 times. Blogs In The Oven Category: General I'm not usually one to announce pre-launch blogs. In fact, I normally wait until a blog has a few blog entries and it has been generally "ironed out" a bit, before I add them to our 'live' environment here at About Weblogs. But, I'm pre-empting some questions that might come my way. So, I can answer the possible queries in one blog entry, here's a list of soon-to-come blogs on the network. Blogs Awaiting Promotion to Live Environment: - Online Journalism Blogs Approved But Still Awaiting To Be Set-Up: (Bloggers are already available, but waiting) - Stitching - Cardiovascular Disease - Widow's Walk - Teenage/Adult Autism - now live There are also a couple of other blogs that are still under negotiations with respective bloggers. At the end of it, if all goes well, we'd have about 31 to 35 blogs in the network. tags: aboutweblogs.com , blogs 11/07/05 - 02:00:56 - Shai - 1 comment |1 Trackback This post was displayed 21209 times.

Leadership Blog on Washington Post Category: General Uhhh... not quite! Jone Lewis of the Leadership Blog sent me the link to this Washington Post article . Nothing to shout about, as it's only a Technorati-based linkback. But, it's fun to see and to share this anyway! :-) tags: leadership blog , washington post 11/05/05 - 20:48:00 - Shai - No comments |No Trackbacks This post was displayed 21257 times. AboutWeblogs Down Time Category: News and Announcements First of all, our big apologies to everyone who's been trying to access our network in the last few hours. During the last couple of weeks, the About Weblogs Network has been receiving more visitors than ever. In fact, our traffic has increased more than 50% lately. And, it looks like we're not slowing down yet either. We're especially excited with all the Google-loving that we've been receiving. SEO work does pay off. :-) Unfortunately, we're not ready for our increased popularity. So, we exceeded our bandwidth allotment and our host had to take our weblogs down. A "happy problem" - but a problem nevertheless. So, after a little bit of hair-pulling for a few hours, we've sorted it out. And, thanks to some good folks who helped us out, we've now increased our bandwidth - and disk space. Thanks for all your patience and support! Here's to hoping for more happy problems ahead... Or, just plain happy times. ;-) tags: aboutweblogs.com , blog networks , blogging news 10/31/05 - 16:13:45 - Shai - No comments |No Trackbacks This post was displayed 22402 times. Accessorise It with Fashion Frills! Category: Network Blogs Writing of changes on the network , one of the latest things that we've got going on AboutWeblogs.com is The Fashion Accessories Blog . It is maintained by our former Stamping blogger, Nikki Katz. That's right. Nikki's bowing out of The Stamping Blog in order to focus on Blog #25 on our network instead. The Fashion Accessories Blog (aka "Fashion Frills") will be all about fun and funky fashion accessories - from bags to shoes to jewelry to hats. 'hope you enjoy it!

Winds of Change Category: News and Announcements So much is happening here at AboutWeblogs.com . Things are shifting, moving and changing. Scary stuff. Exciting stuff. Sad stuff. Great stuff. But, before I go on and on about our stuff... allow me to just share these things: Tammy has handed over The Birthday Blog to our beauty blogger, Christina . We've shared in the grief of our Philippine Culture blogger, Gloria when she lost her father recently. And, we wish her family well. If you've sent in an application to be an AboutWeblogs.com blogger and you still haven't heard back from anyone, please accept my apologies. Life's been really hectic and my email inbox has been really naughty. If you're still interested in pitching your ideas, please feel free to re-send your message. And, let me say thanks for your interest and support. Stay tuned for more news... and, er... stuff. tags: blog , networks , news , blog , news , bloggers 10/21/05 - 06:35:52 - Shai - No comments |1 Trackback This post was displayed 24720 times. Christina Jones: Network Blogger Profile Category: Blogger Profiles Christina Jones is our wild and wonderful blogger for The Beauty Blog . She studied Business Administration at Tusculum College. She's the author of the ebook, Nail Tech Secrets: A Step by Step Guide to Spa Manicures and Pedicures . And, she's been blogging with AboutWeblogs.com since July 2005. So, what kind of beauty expert have we got in Christina? I have been a nail tech for the last 18 years, during the first half of that time, I also worked as an aesthetician and makeup artist. I have been interested in beauty and fashion nearly all of my life. I can remember starting to work on the hair and makeup of friends and myself from about age 12. At age 18, I made it official, and began a career that I enjoyed so much. I love the people, I love the subject matter, I just love the beauty biz and all it entails! So, if she has 3 important tips to give regarding her topic, what would they be? 1. Moisturize everything that can be moisturized, you will not regret it! 2. Blend, blend, blend! 3. Do not think that you have to be Angelina Jolie or Pamela Anderson to be beautiful. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and it has a whole lot more to do with who you are inside than what you look like outside!

On Blogging Network Mergers Category: Network Check-ups and Stories Okay, I'm breaking some of my rules today: 1) I'm writing a cryptic title and blog entry. (A general no-no.) 2) I'm engaging in a bit of blogosphere gossip. (I'm not a big fan of 'em. But then, this isn't comletely gossip, as it really happened.) 3) I'm posting something not too serious in this network blog for once. (A good thing, once in a while, methinks. ;-)) So, what am I talking about anyway? Well... Since I haven't posted any network news for a while now, I thought I'd share a "news that could've been" here at AboutWeblogs.com. You see, a few months back, a blogging network owner approached me with an idea: To merge AboutWeblogs.com with their then-growing (now, quite popular) weblog network. We were still to run as separate blog networks, but we would combine our strengths as two "fledgling" networks to create a bigger, more competitive blogging network. After all, what are the chances of little blog networks against the "big boys and girls of the blogosphere"? So yes, a merger sounded good. However, there were a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. I ran it past my wonderful network bloggers and most of them said that they'd support whatever my decision would be. It was a tough call because it definitely sounded like a great deal. I respected the network and the network owner. But, the issues were not addressed at the time, so I politely declined. I didn't hear back since. Not even a "That's okay. Maybe we can look at this again another time," kinda' email. So, I'm not sure how my decision affected that particular blogging relationship. Strangely enough, after I made that decision, that network made a policy change, which would've addressed one of the biggest issues that we were facing if we were to merge as a network. And, when that change took place, I asked myself: If that new policy was in place during our negotiations, would we have continued with merging our networks? And, with new blogging networks popping up like mushrooms everywhere, would blogging network mergers become a reality? And if so, how would blog network owners handle such mergers? Hmmm... Any guesses about which blog network AboutWeblogs.com would've merged with? ;-) tags: blog networks , blogging network , blogosphere , weblogs , bloggers 10/05/05 - 11:04:30 - Shai - 4 comments |2 Trackbacks This post was displayed 28898 times.

Writing From The Heart , The Mind and The Soul Category: Network Blogs We have a treat for people who are in to journals and diaries. You see, the newest blog on our network (#24!) is the Journal Writing Blog by Heather Goldsmith. Heather is a prolific writer based in Perth, Western Australia. And, she has been journalling for over a decade. She writes this about journal writing: The daily habit of journal writing has taken my writing to surprising places over the last thirteen years. While I originally picked up a pen and notebook to improve my writing skills, I did not expect to learn so much about myself, or find a place to rest my soul, or a place to work out the difficulties of life. The journal habit also led me to uncover ideas to use in short stories, articles, poetry and for several novels. So, go ahead and check out the Journal Writing Blog for ideas, prompts, tips, inspiration and more. 09/17/05 - 06:29:15 - Shai - 1 comment |No Trackbacks This post was displayed 32428 times.
