TECHGEEK has been Australia's latest player in the technology blog arena, but it has just begun.

From humble beginnings with Terence Huynh as the very first writer in its launch and it has expanded. Joining him was Jay Day in March and also suggested a move to a new server that would propel TECHGEEK into attention.

The new move required a lot of work, including the switch from an unknown blogging system to the popular Wordpress and hosting on the ScoreRight Services server for a period of three months. We also gained Stewart Wilson as a writer for the site too.

Then in June, we received our very own server; meaning that we could have the freedom of placing whatever we want. Stewart Wilson and Jay Day also came along with the new move. We also celebrated by creating our own design, which was called "Blue is Darkness". The same theme was also introduced to many of our blogs as well.

From there, we had an upgrade to a new theme in November. This also included a 'clean install' of Wordpress and a switch from a 'Blog' to a 'News Site' agenda. This also meant that we would show the first 8 stories in the front. This also saw the launch of a brand new mini-blog called “The Journal”, where it would cover the latest things across the web. But as time grew, the site became increasingly unmanageable.

In 2008, as part of reawakennetworks (the previous name of Reawaken Media) revitalisation project, TECHGEEK would be given a brand new theme, identity and agenda. However, we kept this a secret from the public. As part of the design, we gone back to the blog format – ditching the black and white newspaper look that we introduced in 2007.

The new theme was launched in April of that year, with a block-like structure. We gone from black and blue and black and white, to white and red. As well, we introduced the new TECHGEEK.com.au name and domain, meaning that we could be accessed easier, and that more people can find our content. The original idea of being just a blog was also introduced. And with that, we gained a couple of new contributors – Sean Hyatt and Kenny Yeoh; and The Journal was promoted to become a blog itself.

In July 2008, as part of the huge massive redesign of every site, TECHGEEK updated its theme. Codenamed “Crystalline”, it was standardised and ditched the red to become more blue. Commissioned to Antinomie Designs, the focus was mainly on text – based on the design influences and contributions from the Editorial Team. The design also was also made to bring a quicker load time to the site, and a simplistic design – with minimal use of javascript and images.

In October 2008, Crystalline got a huge upgrade. The new theme, dubbed “Crystalline Duo”, saw us take a wider approach, and a more simplistic, yet beautiful theme. Also changed was the layout design (from fixed to liquid) and the text size was now bigger and more easier on the eyes.

2009 saw us celebrate two years reporting technolgy, and we celebrated this by introducing our new identity and our new look. Called "BitStream", this follows a year of new looks and designs.
