After the most recent floating candle post I feel like I should be donating at least $5 a month. Not looking for any rewards or tiers, just want to keep my money/accounts in one place (and avoid PayPal due to their bad rep)Sithel a.k.a.

If you can, I think you should have a monthly donation setup rather than per post or something like that. Because some posts are about very labor intensive projects that seem to take a lot of time and effort, then there are the shorter posts, often quite emotional that lets us into your lives. They are just as valuable to us as the jawdropping project - posts and I worry that you would feel like cheating if you get paid the same for a post you write on a whim as for a post that took weeks. Because we don't want that. So I feel like a monthly salary for the work that you do would be the best thing. <br />There was also this kind of staircase where higher amounts gave better rewards. That feels kinda wrong here too. This is like a community of geeks, so everyone who wants to support you should get the same level of reward, no matter how much they can afford to give. I give what I can, but it would feel wrong that someone in a tighter economic situation who still choose to give would miss out because they don't have more to give. <br /><br />Cakewrecks on the other hand should be well suited for both payment per post and a reward ladder. Not sure what kind of rewards would be appropriate there though.

When you make things of shippable proportions you could make a couple extra for your supporters to win. Then we raise our virtual hands and you pick a couple of winners. Because I at least would prefer the chance to get something special you've made rather than a pile of buttons, however pretty they may be. <br />We already get the main product, the blogs, so any extra rewards should be designed so they don't take any time away from the blogs. Never forget that the product we want to pay for is the same thing you've been giving us for free for years, so a chance to win something you've made on the blog is the best reward I can think of. That way it feels like getting an actual piece of the blog itself to put on display in our homes. The postcard I got from you a couple of years back still has a very special place in my bookshelf. <br />Speaking of, maybe write new donors a postcard? Getting a personal letter from the creators of the best blogs on the Internet would make any geek all warm and fuzzy.

I can't support you through Amazon since I already support a charity through Smile and it doesn't let you do more than one recipient. So becoming a monthly Paypal subscriber is great because it allows me to still support your great content! I'm working out next year's giving right now and will definitely be adding monthly support for you to the list. :) You are such an amazing voice for geeks and nerds, and really, everyone. Much support and respect from one "Hashi Hannah" to another (that's what my aunt, also a Hashi sufferer, calls me...)<br /><br />P.S.

I just replaced it with the link I copied from here, to make sure I did it right. I wish we could verify that you're getting credit by giving an order date and $ amount. <br /><br />I totally understand about cats being expensive. We were down to Jasper, age 13, with bad teeth and a low platelet count. In September we got Lucy, age 1, and then in October we got Charlie Brown and Sally, age two months. I'm buying twice as much dry cat food and scooping three litter boxes twice a day. The babies have giardiasis and Lucy has been grooming them, so all three are on 10 days of pills.<br /><br />One problem, every time I click on "Preview" my comment disappears.
