I received two donations yesterday, one for $200 and one for $50 and I’d like to thank the people who sent them. I’ve got real names over on Paypal, and I think it was Viccles and Quasi that sent them, I may have that wrong \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I appreciate the help, I’ll itemize what was spent starting up the site, at some point, and more importantly what the monthly expenses for running it are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I have mentioned to some people, a lot of the plugins I have here I use on multiple sites, and I get unlimited licenses where ever possible for that reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do intend to set up a method where the site can pay for itself without resorting to memberships. I’ll get more into that later also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also need to be setting up an organization of some sort to be responsible for running the site, I don’t intend to be chief cook and bottle washer and make all the decisions myself once we get out of set-up phase, but it’s going to take some people volunteering and organizing to accomplish that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In any case I’ll be writing in more detail on that later after everything is up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will mention I am in a different position economically than Kim was, I can afford to support the site at it’s current level of membership. If it starts getting larger, needs a bigger server, or starts sending a lot of email and I need to expand that service, that’s the point I’ll start needing support from the members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
