You can add your own events to this website. Cool, huh?
 
First you will need to register. Once registered you can post in the forum, have a profile page with your links on it, and participate in the chat thingie.
 
To do more you will need to apply for a role, although at this time I'm assigning roles to individuals who fill out their profiles well. I must approve you to a role. This helps me protect the front page from unwanted junk. The best way to assure me that you are real is to fill out your profile and at least provide your website there. Once approved you can post events, blog posts, and weblinks which all get shared with everyone on the main sidebars of the site so it's a lot of exposure. Also, worthy posts will be published on the front page which is serious exposure and makes it to both my feed subscribers and those who get this feed by email (quite a few beadlovers).

The roles available are friend, artist, or commercial. If you are just a hobbiest or like to hang out with beaders but don't consider yourself an artist then apply for friend. If you make your own stuff to show or sell then apply as an artist. If you resell items (don't make it with your own hands and yes this includes "handmade" items made in factories) then apply for commercial. If I don't think you look real, you won't be approved.
