Donations Button is on!

Post by Gordon »

It's that time again!!!

I have turned on the Donations Button (top of each page second column down) or you can click here: app.php/donate

This is voluntary and won't 'buy' you anything. But we need the funds to continue so any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your continued support!!

I try not to fill the account with more money than we need to pay the bills. We do this one every 3 months and it seems it only takes a day or so to hit the target. So keep your eyes open sometime in mid-February.

Thanks for the support!

The easy way would be to 'subscribe' to the "Donations" topic. Then you would be notified.
