Ready, Set, Beta

Closed beta testing begins today and we're all very excited about it. Well I am, I'm not sure about those who are handling the bug reports and other process bits and pieces (a website doesn't just come into being you know).

BTW, I am Darren, I'm your host for the time being on this blog, but there are others who may just pop in and post. My role is to oversee the content that gets created for the site. That means that I spend a lot of my time filling in forms, editing text and sometimes (if I am really lucky) playing with Flash animations. I'll introduce you to other members of the team over time, there are quite a few of us, and we'll get to know each other as we journey onwards.

For those who are active in the beta test, I hope you enjoy the experience and are able to give us some constructive feedback, and for those who aren't, it won't be long now till WordLive gets released to everyone.

Busy, busy, busy

It is a lovely bright and sunny morning in Bletchley, Milton Keynes and the team who are putting together WordLive, are getting ready for the private beta test that begins Tuesday 4th December. It is a weird feeling doing a beta test, the whole point of the exercise is for us to find all the bits and pieces that don't work. However, having done so much work on it already, I secretly hope that nothing shows up.
