I might sound silly, but can someone explain what a Beta site is, to a techno idiot?
thanks. What are the implications if a site is in Beta mode?
It might break, it might go off-line, there are probably still things that are missing or don't work as expected. Normally though they are not major issues because the owners wouldn't release something widely until its working 90%
Often you will need an invite to join a beta site - which is just a way to manage growth
If its something you are interested in, join - your feedback will help the owner develop the site
@Benson:
Normally it's a site that is still in testing mode, and may have limited functionality.
You may also experience problems using it, so it''s a good way of the developers saying "Use this at your own risk".
It's ijnteresting to note that Google GMAIL is still bearing the "Beta" label, although it has been operational for a long time, and is one of the most used email services.
@Jyoti:
You would normally apply to use a beta site from the site iteslf, or in response to some sort of invitation.
There's no "rules" as to who gets access. or the method of invitation.

I've only written three articles for HubPages, which have all been featured. I've met all the criteria for a good/interactive post (I think?), and I've promoted on all of my social media platforms, but I'm still having trouble spreading the word. Any advice?

After a little more testing we've just opened up another new feature that went out yesterday -- a HubPages widget that you can add to your blog or website. To grab the code, just go to your profile page and you should see a link in the right hand column.You can see an example of it in action...

I found that the entire domain has been copied. I filed DMCA takedown notices for four of my hubs. If you have hubs on WeHaveKids, your hub has been plagiarized and you should file too. All the hubs are located under the main domain arttek . spb . ru(spaces added for obvious reasons). That...
