So things have been very hectic and exciting over the past couple of weeks as deals were proposed and finalized, which has altered the course for the Arbenting network of sites. I say altered, but in point of fact, the mission awesomely enough gets to remain the same, the course simply has broadened before us. As some of you may already know, Angie and I have been offered, and have accepted the exceptional honor of taking over as editors of Fuel Your Creativity, for the FUEL Brand Network! I want to say that last bit again, in case you weren’t listening…oh who am I kidding, I am just so excited each time I say it…Angie and I have taken over as editors of Fuel Your Creativity, for the FUEL Brand Network!
We could not have been more enthusiastic or unprepared for this turn of events. Never had we imagined that a message from Josh and Adelle from FUEL indicating they wanted to collaborate with us, would have ever yielded such a privilege! Talk about having the breath knocked out of you…by a conversation? That was a first for us.
What does this mean for our sites? Ah, therein lies the crux of this post. With us manning (and womanning) the helm at FYC, we will no longer be updating our blog here, and over at Dead Wings and the Social Media Directory for Designers. The amazing content that we have amassed and fallen in love with over the past year from all of our sites will remain so that we do not break any of the links that were so kindly offered to our works. Also, and mind you this will take some time, we will be compiling all of our favorite posts into a free e-book that will eventually be available to download from the Fuel Your Creativity blog. There are a few loose ends we need to tie up here at Arbenting so there will be a few more posts as we wind it down over the next month.
Also, both Arbenting and Dead Wings will remain as personal portfolios for Angie and I, respectively. So we will still be freelancing and updating the gallery of work we showcase at both of those sites. So you will still be able to find us around here, but as for the blogging that has made us fans and garnered us readers, you will have to follow us over to Fuel Your Creativity. We hope to see you there!

Congrats! I’ll miss these sites, but since you’re leaving them up, I can drop by and visit.
On your new endeavor: Best of luck! I know you’re going to do just fine! How exciting it is to see your name by a flame! ;-)
Love and hugs!
Aaah I was getting so so addicted to Arbent :-). I will miss you guys posting on here. But change is good and greater things are to come, I am very excited to see you guys bring in your unique flavor over at FUEL .. wish you both the very best!!
Great stuff guys, i was thinking that youll have alot of work on your hands because ive seen you posting a few articles around the web, but i guess a sacifice has to be made some where along the line, and its great that your staying in the community and i look forward to your articles on FYC.

Angie, Robert, congrats! I will miss Arbenting. Still, I read FYC regularly and I am sure it will get even better now :)
What will happen with GeeksGirlBlog?

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. While we are very excited to be taking over Fuel Your Creativity, it is also a bit sad to let Arbenting go. But we’ve talked about it and decided that there is no way we could successfully run two sites that large at the same time. Our goal is to give you the best of both sites wrapped into one.
@Emily — Having that red flame by my name is an absolutely amazing feeling. It’s a wonderful team to be a part of!
@Sneh — Thank you so much! We foresee this being a positive change for both us, Fuel and the community.
@Max — I would never want to leave the community, it’s always been one of my favorite parts of blogging. We looked at joining forces with Fuel as a perfect way for us to grow our reach in the community that we love so much.
Re-reading through that I know it sounds kind of hokey, but it’s true :)
@Janko — I’ve been contemplating Geek Girl for the past week and have decided that I really want to keep it going. It’s so much fun and I’m loving the response it’s gotten in the short time it’s been live. I’m really hoping I’ll find that I have enough time for at least one or two posts per week on it.
Angie & Rob! What can I say…(well I could say alot actually) but I’m going to save that for my post tomorrow about you guys on Fuel Your Creativity. No peeking either! ;)
Welcome to the family!
