If you’ve been a regular visitor to eWriteLife.com, you would’ve noticed by now that things look a bit different around here. Yes, we just got ourselves another makeover. I know, I know… I happen to like makeovers. ![]()
There is one significant change this time around, though.
You see, apart from Ingrid Diaz doing a fantastic job at re-designing this blog, eWriteLife.com has now joined the network of blogs over at b5media.com.
As some of you might be aware of, I’m one of the founders/owners of b5media blogging network. And, while I’ve been running eWriteLife independently for the last 5 years or so, I decided that it’s time for it to join the business that I’m trying to build with 3 other fantastic guys.
These are my top 3 reasons for finally deciding to take eWriteLife.com out of independence and in to its new home network:
1) I love b5media. While I already run two blogs on the network: Self Help Diva and Just Make Money Online, they’re both results of the AboutWeblogs + b5media merger. It’s cool. But, I wanted to give a bit more - seeing as my partners brought in some of their existing blogs to the network.
eWriteLife.com is my first ever ‘official’ site and domain name. The domain was bought last 14th April 2001; prior to this, it was running for a year or so on Freeservers and Geocities. The only domain I own that pre-dates this is ShaiCoggins.com, bought 24 August 2000. Anyway, eWriteLife is one site that I feel really attached to, as I’ve learned so much through several years of running it. And, I’ve met so many great people through this site too.
So yeah, this is one way for me to show my full support for b5media.
2) I believe in the power of networks. One of the reasons that I started a blogging network was because I believed in what networks bring to individual blogs and bloggers. Well, I still believe it. That’s why as much as I’m bringing something to b5’s table by taking eWriteLife.com in to the network, I know that b5 will be giving me back a lot more. Like the support of fellow b5ers and our growing community.
Hey, I’m all for independence. But, I also know that it’s great to have other people around.
3) More support, more for users. Since I’m now receiving some extra help and support to run this blog, I’m hoping that this will result in better services and products for eWriteLife.com readers, visitors and supporters. Let’s see how it goes…
So, if you have any thoughts, ideas or suggestions, please feel free to let me know all about it.

Welcome to b5 land!
Welcome, Shai, to b5 with eWriteLife.com. I’ve enjoyed and participated in eWriteLife.com for several years (even teaching online writing workshops there…think that was your site where we offered them). So I’m looking forward to all you have to share with us here.
