So many of you wanted to start commitment contracts immediately that we hurried and implemented that feature. What Bethany said is still true (first try is free), and the original fee schedule applies, but if you want to jump ahead in the fee schedule, now you can.

We also added a 24-hour delay in actually charging your credit card if you go off the road, just in case we screwed anything up in our rush to add this feature. (We'd refund a spurious charge regardless, but then we'd have to eat a small fee, so better to catch it before that.)

We've also been augmenting the FAQ -- http://beeminder.com/faq -- based on, well, the frequently asked questions we've been getting. Keep them coming!

Oh, and also, despite obvious rough edges still, we decided to officially launch: http://blog.beeminder.com/launch
