It really does take a great team to build a great company, and b5 has one of the best teams anyone could ask for. Great founding team, amazing CE’s and fantastic bloggers. Every person in the company continues to astound me with their passion and dedication to making b5 all it can be.
This week, though, one team in particular has done an absolutely amazing job. The Tech team, led by Aaron Brazell has tackled massive obstacles this week and come out largely on top.
3 weeks ago, the team was given 2 large projects, both with a deadline of this weekend: buy, setup and move to a new server cluster and design a new b5media homepage.
I’m very, very proud to see that both projects were completed on time and exceeded my expectations. A huge, huge thank you to Aaron, Sean, Ben, Jonic, Brian and Mark for making these projects happen. Either of these projects would have stressed even the best team, and you guys pulled off both ahead of schedule.
Thank you!
Aaron has some more info on the new site as well as the new servers at his blog.
If you’ve ever had pressures based on tight deadlines, head over to his blog and congratulate him and the whole team. Ditto for Ben, who led the design work on the new site, thanks Ben!

Hey I want to 100% agree with you, I joined b5Media to write Widows Quest after blogging for about 6 months on my own site. I have been astounded by the friendship, the amount of help and the development. Fantastic!
