Skinny Moose Media’s Steve Remington announced in an email that they are partnering up with a new blog network, Adventure Bay Media which we have added to our watchlist. From their about blurb:

The Adventure Bay Media Network is a portal to the world of adventure. Our network of blogs and media represents some of the best adventure and outdoor writers in the field. We cover mountain climbing, kayaking, surfing, hiking, mountain biking and a whole lot more of what you would expect with big time adventure and the great outdoors.

Visit the Adventure Bay Media network here.

Major blogosphere player b5media is set to redesign the overall look of its network sometime next year. According to The Blog Herald, b5media will use one of the Revolution themes as the base theme across its roster of sites.

BH’s Thord Hedengren chips in his thoughts:

While I have nothing against the Revolution Streamline theme, which will be the basis of the new design, I’m a bit surprised to see b5media going with something that is a premium theme available for all. Or is it? I can’t seem to find it on the Revolution Two website, so maybe b5media bought the rights to it? I’ve contacted Brian and Jeremy for a comment on this.

The Beauty Blog Network is holding an Open Invite program for bloggers desiring inclusion to their stable of blogs. Quoting their announcement:

At The Beauty Blog Network, we pride ourselves in selecting and having members that are truly the best. The Beauty Blog Network is not a directory of beauty blogs. It’s a by invite only selection of the best beauty blogs out there. What makes a beauty blog catch our attention? Quality. Quality in the writing, the information, and the intent of the blog. I can tell by reading a blog if they are passionate about it. I can tell about their commitment, in how much they put into it. Videos, tutorials, images, step by step, reviews… I’m sure you can to.
