Dear Readers,
You won't find me at Jewelry & Beading anymore, and pretty soon you probably won't find the content either. But not to worry!
I'm going to try to be a little bit classier about this than the new b5Media ceo was this morning when she terminated the contracts of all the b5Media bloggers that were still hanging on. It's sad. I joined in writing for b5 back in 2006, first as their mixed media arts blogger at Layers Upon Layers. Layers disappeared last year, all the content getting sucked into the great void that became Blisstree. That's when I resurrected Mixed Media Artist, my old arts blog.
In the meantime, I was offered the contract in 2007 to take over writing the Jewelry & Beading blog. When everything started to go south with the network (in my opinion) last year, I also resurrected Beading Arts, which I had neglected during those ensuing years. So, it's with a measurably lightened heart that I tell you the content from Jewelry & Beading will slowly make its way over here, because I already knew that things were not going well in the network.
From a business standpoint, maybe it makes sense to terminate 150 writers, but I just don't quite see it. I enjoyed the first three years of writing for b5Media. This last one, not so much. I wish all my co-bloggers well and hope you'll all find a good place to land.
Best ~

I miss how it used to be and won't mourn this change. I have my personal site and a site I'm about to launch.
We're better for the change...at least that's what I keep telling myself. ;)
I'm so sorry but know how talented and savvy you are. Yup, you'll bounce just fine.
I know that feeling of being glad it's over. One door closes; another opens.
See? They're moving to NY, so they can't keep us, because...
Hmmmm...why *would* that make a difference? I really hate being lied to.
Anyway, I hope you don't mind me posting where people may find me and other blisstree bloggers now:
www.gadabouthealth.com and www.gadaboutmedia.com
Good on you for being a multi-blogger :)
