Introduction
Welcome to The Entertainment Network! This is a blog I created back in 2011, a few weeks before my fourteenth birthday and five years later I'm still adding to it as often as I can. TEN started out as a site which covered all forms of entertainment, but in recent years has become particularly focused on films and comic-books with time made for other mediums whenever possible.
While TEN sadly hasn't become the news juggernaut that a naïve thirteen year-old was hoping for when he created this site, it remains something I care deeply about and am always looking to improve. Thanks for visiting, I hope you like the site and by all means get in touch if you have any suggestions or queries!

P.S. Due to how young I was when I created this site, some of the older articles are borderline unreadable so apologies in advance if you happen to stumble upon one of them.

It's questionable whether anyone would be interested in a history of TEN feature, but one day when I had nothing to do I put one together regardless.
January 25th 2011 - DVGN (Facebook Page) Created
This is how it all started. The idea was to create a Facebook page that would hand out bullets of video-game news everyday. Unfortunately, I had no money for funding advertisements, so I ended up getting only 5 likes! This was a bit soul-crushing so I threw in the towel 2 months later in March 2011.

Not exactly master journalism.... |
June 2011: Blog Created
Months later in June I decided to give it a second try, but DVGN was no more. In its place was a blog called: Media Reviews, Features and More! If you look at our HTML address, this site is still called mediareviewsfeaturesandmore.blogspot.com -- I didn't bother changing address just because it would create a bunch of dead links on Facebook and Twitter.
September 2011: Re-Branded!
While things started off positively, views and morale dropped soon after. In the entire month of August, I only got 13 views. That was bad. Something had to be done. So I re-designed the blog and changed name to Entertainment News, Reviews, Features and More. Not only that but I made myself known on Facebook and Twitter. Things started looking up.
November 2011: The Network is Created.
I was already covering Movies, Games, Music, Books and Comics on my blog. So I came up with the idea to give each topic a blog of their own. The Entertainment Network was born, with this blog acting as a central site with which everything came together.
February 2012: Network is reverted to single website, as TEN gets a huge overhaul!
In February 2012 TEN got a huge and awesome new redesign and as a result the "network" was taken down, and I reverted back to one simple site for all your entertainment news. I kept the name, but enhanced my features with YouTube shows aiming to keep you in the know.
May 2012: Comic Reviews Round-Up Launched
In May this year, TEN launched Comic Reviews Round-Up! Comic Reviews Round-Up is a site that takes comic reviews from around the internet and mixes them together to make one ultimate score for that comic. It's a way of making sure comic fans never buy a bad comic again! You can visit the site here!
