Does This Channel Make Me Look Fat?
Recently this b5media channel got a whole lot fatter but not in an, “Oh, no my thighs way;” more of a fat with great new content way.
You may know that Offbeat Homes has always been a part of the Home & Dining Channel here at b5media. Well, this week we’ve had some huge changes. The Home & Dining Channel merged with the Family & Relationships and Arts & Design channels to form one gigantic channel experience. The three channels together are now officially the Lifestyles Channel.
Why go there? Well…
Turns out all three channels had very similar demographics of readers. As one large channel we can all work together to present readers with a larger selection of bloggers and topics to inform, educate, and entertain. I felt like the Home & Dining Channel was my little family away from home so this merge has been a little strange just because it’s always odd to suddenly have instant members added to your family.
However, as you know we like the strange at Offbeat. We also like to embrace past and future ideas so without further ado… Let’s get acclimated to which blogs are part of this fresh new Lifestyles Channel.

Or maybe a Heart Shaped House installation… Oh yes it is.
Or there’s always the Berlin Blinkenlights.

There. Now that Offbeat has spread some welcome love why not do the same and visit all the blogs in the fresh new Lifestyles Channel. With all these amazing blog to choose from you’ll find some new reads to bookmark for sure. I know I already have.

I love the last picture–does anyone else imagine what it would look like with a smiley face instead?

It would be cool with a smile; although, then I’d be spreading the happy not the love which of course would not fit my half baked theme of this post.
I like junk creation. I used to stop by. It hard to remember when a blog’s in another channel though. Maybe now I’ll remember :)
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Great roundup of blogs and explanation of the merger of several channels to better provide information, resources, humor and dreaming (heart shaped swimming pool is tops). As the blogger at Quilting and Patchwork, I’m pleased to be part of the Lifestyles channel.
