Many people have used Ning and have set up their Ning design to match their blogs. Michelle can do the same thing for you with Ning or Grou.ps (although Ning will now charge $19.95 a month for that type of customization).
My partner, Michelle
Laycock, is sharing this new service and information with
her customers, so I wanted to bring it to your attention as well.
As you may know, Ning will start charging for its services on July
20th. Click
here for details.A non-customized Ning will be $2.95 per month and a Customized Ning
(with your own graphics on it) will be $19.95 per month. Yes, you read
that right. $19.95 per month. A lot of Stampin' Up! downline groups are using Ning
for their downlines and for class environments. And you'll have to start paying $19.95 a month….UNLESS….
you move to Grou.ps. I recommend Grou.ps if you want a free forum
option. Go here for more information.If you are currently on Ning and you need to move in order to avoid
the new monthly charge, I can move all your graphics from Ning to
Grou.ps. Ask about the fee for moving.
Furthermore, she has done a few transfers, like Cindy's below, and would
welcome the opportunity to help you as well!
You can view the "public" side of the "Test"
Grou.ps site here:

Lastly, and this applies to those using Ning to run an online classroom, here are more notes from Michelle so she may best assist you in this transition and in a timely manner:
For those doing Classes, I need to know at least two months before
your marketing launch date to I can plan your class graphics and setup in my
schedule. For example if you are going to do a Christmas class starting on Nov
1, And you will start marketing your class on Oct. 1 to get attendees, then I
will need your graphics order by August 1st. so I can plan/schedule.
Enjoy! Happy Blogging!
