I wish I had not checked my email between classes. After finding out that I have been accepted into the prestigious 9rules Network, I couldn’t be bothered by the math quiz I had an hour later. I feel extremely honored at this privilege. I have been keeping my eye on the 9rules Network for a long time and being a part of it now is surreal to say the least. I have some big shoes to fill but I will definitely get cozy in my new online home. Stay tuned for some more excellent content, I need to show 9rules they made the right decision.
I personally want to extend my thanks to Paul Scrivens for inviting me into 9rules and selecting my website out of some 509 other Round 3 submissions! I also couldn’t have done it without the mentorship of Mr. Veloso from Avalonstar and the help of my Greek buddy Konstantinos at HiFiBlog. With them I was able to turn my sloppy tech blog into a professional and credible news, reviews and guides portal. Leave your comments at the door. I might not get back to you for a while, I’m heading off to cre824 tomorrow. Update: Read an interview with me over at BlogNetworkWatch.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

Keep the great articles coming!
Congrats, Paul! I’m a Georgia Tech grad who’s also trying to get in, and I couldn’t be prouder that they selected a fellow Jacket to join the fold. Awesome work!
Thanks for all the great comments guys!
Well done. Are you going to get a blue flower to go with the site design? Maybe you could tint their black and white one.
I’ve been thinking about a blue one. I’ll have to come up with a blue “proud member” one.
Hey Paul! Welcome!
Now, maybe Duncan R. will get off your back LOL…

Paul: Congratulations! I’m glad to say I came across your blog about a week before 9rules snapped you up! Does that make me an old-skool reader?
Congrats. Paul!
