I’m Just Another EveryJoe.com Kind of Guy

Logo-EveryJoe If you follow me on twitter, you may have remembered me tweeting about an interesting email I received a couple weeks back.

The email was about some changes taking place at b5media that directly impacted me and the writing I was doing on Microsoft Weblog and Uncover the Internet.

They had made the decision to terminate a number of their blogs and to aggregate the content and various writers into their new tech/sports/men’s interest portal at EveryJoe.com.

Due to the changes in market conditions and advertisers, b5media has been launching a variety of portals to make deeper, more content rich sites as opposed to their original model of numerous niche blogs on a variety of topics.

b5media is still sticking with the variety of topics, but keeping them in portals based on general ideas of interest and topic. For instance, EveryJoe.com has categories or topics like:

Baseball, Basketball, Cars, Computers, Electronics, Fitness, Football, Gaming, Golf, MMA-UFC, Movies, Music, Racing, Spirits, Sports Rumors, Television, Tennis, Weight Lifting.

Some of the higher traffic blogs under the original blog structure have been maintained as "Featured Blogs" in the new portal. Proudly my Uncover the Internet site was one of those blogs kept in this method.

So, if you’ve enjoyed my writing on my other blogs for b5media, stop on over at EveryJoe.com and catch me there along with some other great writers and topics.

Oh, and if you’re interested in some of the other b5media portals, check us out at:

Pulling the Plug on del.icio.us Posts

delicious-nav-bar

I’ve been using del.cio.us more and more recently to collect and organize all the interesting and useful stuff I’ve been finding on the Internet lately. I thought it would be helpful and a resource to other people to have those interesting links I’ve found shared as regular posts to my site here.

However, in looking back I quickly realize that the regularity of which those are posted, compared to the sparse posts of my own throw the site too far out of balance for what I would prefer it to be. So I’m pulling the plug on del.cio.us posts.

I’m not stopping to use del.cio.us, I’m just rethinking the best way to display the information. Now, instead of seeing regular posts there’s a new little widget in my left-hand sidebar that displays my recent del.cio.us activity.

When you’re visiting my site, which I hope you do frequently, just take a gander over there to the left and see if anything catches your eye. Hopefully it will and hopefully it will be a resource you’ve been looking for perhaps.

I also blog about some of the sites I find over at Uncover the Internet on the b5media network. I’d love for you to jump on over there and see what you can find there as well.
