BTA website goes live

The BTA’s long-awaited website is live. I think you’ll like it. I do. Big kudos go out to the talented folks at Grapheon Design for donating their skills to the cause.

I think it’s pretty cool they’ve got a blog. Evan just posted something about the Albright/TriMet thing that’s worth a read (and I’ll forgive him for linking to the Oregonian’s coverage instead of mine)*. I tried to comment but it didn’t let me…hopefully that will be resolved soon.

I’m curious to see what they’ll do with comments. I think open (moderated) comments are essential…but because they’re a well-known, politically active non-profit they might attract some crazies. If that happens, it could become a drain on staff resources just to respond and deal with them.

Either way, here’s to the new site!

*Update: [Just to clarify on the crossed out words above, I was first to publish anything on this story, but I found out about it through another source whose story wasn’t published until 4 days after mine]. See comments below for more info.
