About
After experiencing much success with Minervity.com, Richard Darell founded Bit Rebels, the first site in the Rebels franchise, in mid 2009. Misty Belardo, who has shown endless creative inspiration, joined Richard early on as the coordinator of Bit Rebels and she brings years of experience and her endless positive energy to the group. As their success continued to grow, Richard and Misty began hand picking additional writers for the site, each selected for their unique talents.
In January of 2010, after writing for Bit Rebels for six months, Diana Adams took on an additional role as Richard Darell’s assistant. Also, by this time, Bit Rebels had grown to eleven savvy writers. Now with all the players in place and everything growing quickly and smoothly, the sky is truly the limit for the Rebels vision!
In February of 2010, after Bit Rebels was well on its way with over 1,000,000 visitors each month, Richard added Ink Rebels to the mix, along with a few other Rebels related sites that are soon to launch. And the rest is, as they say… history in the making! We thank you for being a part of it all!
Richard only has one rule that everyone that works with us is well aware of and that is… We must have fun! We want to share that fun with our readers every day. Whether we are providing you with that much needed five minute dose of entertainment during your day or an advanced tutorial, we are confident you will like what you see and come back to visit us.
In Richard’s own words, “Our articles are meant to give you that second perspective on any given topic, that perspective that you might have missed if not for the Rebels sites.”
We are always looking for ways to improve your experience and we are humbled and inspired by our readers. We welcome your feedback and hope that during the time you spend on our sites, you are always smiling.
