Membership for BetA has been open for a week now and we are about to add our 150th member! I really appreciate the warm reception you have given it and am impressed by everyone’s participation. Your enthusiasm has already produced 35 posts and 146 comments! Awesome job, BetA! We are all still testing the waters, but what really strikes me so far is the honesty and kindness of the posts and the comments. We are sharing our stories, offering advice, blowing off steam, and making friends. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you!

With well over 200 members in two weeks, open registration for BetA has ended. If you didn’t sign up in time, don’t worry. There is still hope, but involves the painful process of sending me an email (info - at- beadesigngroup - dot- com) and begging for an invitation. If you don’t know what I am talking about, check out this post where I outline the benefits and amazingness that is BetA. The next phase of BetA is going to be trying to figure out a good way to share some of the great content created on BetA with Be A Design Group readers. Stay tuned…
