Winners of September Contest
Congrats to David and Chrissy (Beautty) for being September’s Top Members. Originally, I had planned to only give away one iPod, but Chrissy had such a great comment to post count ratio that I had to offer her a prize as well. David decided to pass on the iPod and takes home a Microsoft Zune

Kineda Forums Are Alive
I’ve heard all the screaming, kicking, and crying! So by popular demand, the Kineda Forums are back. The forums are a great place to connect with other Kineda addicts, discover what’s buzzing, and to talk about whatever is on your mind. Enjoy.
Redesign Number 18
18 different Kineda designs in a little less than 10 years. That averages out to almost two designs a year. I’ve abandoned the lovely Shoryuken black design that many have grown to love, and went with a what I call the clean-airy look. There are still tweaks to be made here and there to the
Glam is Highly Envied
Last night, Michael Arrington of Techcrunch, made a bold claim that the #1 women’s web property according to Comscore is a sham. As a dedicated publisher of the Glam Network, I’m disappointed to see Michael spin this story in his favor. Michael clearly fails to disclose that PopSugar, one of TechCrunch’s investments is trying to

Glam Media’s Publisher of the Month
Every month Glam releases GlamWire, a list of their top stories from the Glam Network. A select Glam Media publisher is highlighted in every issue, and this month, it’s Kineda!

Atlantis Resort at Paradise Island in the Bahamas
If you noticed the lack of updates the last few days, it’s because Tami and I were off vacationing in the Bahamas! We stayed at The Atlantis, a gorgeous resort located on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas. I’m pretty pooped from the long flight back home, so I won’t ramble too much here. My only
Happy Valentines Day
Happy Valentines Day from Kineda! I have surprisingly found that many blogging sites are hating on Valentines Day! How can this be? I suppose I can see the pessimism about Valentines Day. Our tradition suggests we exchange gifts and prices “surprisingly” increase. In addition, many think they shouldn’t be forced to celebrate love on a
Akon
There’s a new theme in town and it goes by the name of Akon. Named after one of my favorite hip-hop and R&B singers, the design goal of Akon is to be clean, simple and functional. Akon’s professional design will set your blog apart and help you on your way to becoming a publishing powerhouse.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Kineda Style
Tami and I want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful, safe, and stress-free holiday! Now it wouldn’t be a Kineda Christmas if we didn’t give you a nice Jgirl present right?! So here’s a video of hotties Kana Tsugihara, China Fukunaga, and Akane Suzuki to help kick some holiday spirit into
Give Some Love to the Glam Network!
Our partnership with the Glam Network has been a fantastic one. For the past three months, they’ve shown me why they are the fastest growing fashion and entertainment blog network in the business. From the beginning, their Account Managers were knowledgeable about my needs and questions, and their Network Care Team (especially Rosie), surprisingly responsive
Kineda Now Available on Your Mobile Handheld
I’ve always had the need to stay connected to the Web and E-mail while I’m on the go. This is especially true when I hit the mall with Tami and she’s taking forever to try on clothes! To pass time, I’ll flip out my Palm Treo Samsung Blackjack cell phone and surf some of my
